Burnt mound in Manch East

On a S-facing slope at the edge of a mixed species woodland. This possible burnt mound was discovered in 2005 during the digging of a logging road (Conner 2007, 51-2). A layer (10.6m E-W; D 0.2m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil is visible where the logging road has cut into sloping ground (pers. comm. Abigail Brewer).

Burnt mound, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Its significance lies in providing evidence of ancient thermal activity, possibly related to domestic or ritual practices.
