Burnt mound in Coolacork

This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3248) on the N11 road improvement scheme. The burnt mound sealed a trough and two gullies and two pits that were related but not sealed by the burnt material. One retouched flint flake recovered from the feature dated it to the Bronze Age.
