What is recorded here

This is the record for a burnt mound excavated by Niall Gregory (97E0252) on the Arklow bypass road scheme. The excavation revealed two pits and three troughs and four distinct spreads of burnt material. One of these troughs had two post-holes associated with it. The finds consisted of twelve worked flints but these were not from a secure context.
