What is recorded here

No visible water now, but the wet ground beside it and the heat-shattered stone suggest people boiled or cleaned water at this place long before the field wall crossed it. It lies low in pasture below a rath, half-hidden in grass and thistles, waiting for someone to imagine the steam rising beside the slope.

In pasture, located at the base of a SE-facing slope, bordering an expanse of flat, partly reclaimed wet ground. There is a rath (MA111-003----) c. 100m upslope to W. A low, elongated mound (c. 20m NE–SW; c. 11m NW–SE; H 0.7m at SE, 0.4m at NW) overlain centrally on a NE–SW axis by a field wall. A concentration of small angular, possibly heat-shattered limestone fragments in a dark-coloured soil matrix was noted at the NE end. Covered in long grass, thistles and hawthorn scrub.

Burnt mound in Clareen is a Bronze Age ritual or industrial site, characterized by a low, elongated mound of heat-altered stones. Its location near a rath suggests possible settlement or ceremonial connections in a landscape used for multiple purposes during the later prehistoric period.
