Burnt mound

What is recorded here

In pasture, located at the base of a natural scarp that borders an expanse of flat, wettish pasture which extends W of Meelick Lough. It is situated c. 30m from the W edge of the Lough. This possible burnt mound is evident as a very low, roughly oval sod-covered rise (c. 8m E-W; c. 6m N-S) of firm ground. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 May 2019
A possible burnt mound, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, representing a domestic or ritual site where heat-treated stone was used. Its location near Meelick Lough suggests it may be part of a broader prehistoric landscape.
