Burnt mound in Cloghoge (arklow By.)

This is the record for the burnt mound partially excavated by Ellen O’Carroll (E3225) during the N11 road improvement scheme. It comprised the eastern edge of a burnt spread, 2.5m by 2.5m and 0.15m in depth. The main portion of the burnt mound could be seen clearly over the road-take in the adjoining western field. The site probably dates to the Bronze Age. (O'Carroll 2009f) Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 10 January 2013
