What is recorded here

In Cloontreem, a small mound of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil sits on the bank of a stream. Burnt material still lies scattered along the water for several metres, suggesting people heated stones and dropped them into the flow. A nearby hut site and standing stone imply the mound belonged to a lived landscape rather than a forgotten accident. The water may have carried warmth, food or life into the village.

In rough pasture, on bog, on a SW-facing slope. The remains of an eroded irregular mound (c. 5m NE-SW; c. 3m NW-SE; H 0.1m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil on the NW bank of a stream. Burnt material is also scattered along the bed of the stream for a distance of c. 6m. There is a hut site (CO115-023----) c. 60m to the NE and a standing stone (CO115-156----) c. 80m to the SW.
