What is recorded here

Fire cracked the stones and charcoal stained the soil before the mound surrendered half its shape to rain. It still holds its river bank beside Tooreennamna Mountain, joined six metres east to a second burnt mound and shadowed fifty metres southeast by a standing stone. People may have heated water there for cooking, cleaning or ceremony, then walked on while the hillskept the smoke's dark grain.

In rough hill pasture, on the W bank of a river on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. An eroded irregular mound (4.4m N-S; 2.8m E-W; H 0.7m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. Two boulders abut the W side of the mound. Another burnt mound (CO102-041007-) lies 6m to the E and there is a standing stone (CO102-041008-) c. 50m to the SE.
