What is recorded here

Hot fire, cold stone, and forgotten hands. Men dug for rock or levelled earth and broke into dead chambers no longer drawn on any map. The bones gave up their names, but they did not give up the fact that Toor More held more life than the visible rampart suggests.

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. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 7 November 2018

A cremation burial associated with a square enclosure; likely dates to the Bronze Age. Its significance lies in the rare association of cremation remains with a defined structural context, suggesting ritual or funerary practices of local importance.
