What is recorded here

In pasture, located on gently rising ground close to the NE shore of Bekan Lough. When inspected in 1998 this levelled burnt mound was visible as a roughly semi-circular area (diam. c. 12m) marked by shorter grass growth, with black soil exposed in parts which were denuded of vegetation. It appeared to be composed of a concentration of stone fragments. The straight side faces SW towards the lake. There is a burnt mound (MA092-114----) c. 130m to WNW, a burnt mound (MA092-116----) c. 200m to NNW, and a possible burnt spread (MA092-117----) c. 25m to SE.
