Burnt mound in Mylane

In pasture, on a slight S-facing slope. A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was noted here in 1998 when the field was ploughed (pers. comm. Donal O'Flynn). This spread was not visible in 2000 when the field was under pasture. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
