What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 102), 'Calcined human bones have been found on the fringe of the plateau, while quarrying operations were being carried on there; also in the inner rampart, within a square enclosure formed of flags; and also in glazed urns upturned while levelling part of the outer rampart, at the west side'. The precise location of these burials within the hillfort is unknown.
