Burnt mound

What is recorded here

This is the record for the burnt mound and associated stakeholes and pits, excavated by Goorik Dehaene (E3208) on the N11 road improvement scheme. Three flint flakes associated with these features suggest a date for the site in the Bronze Age. (Dehaene 2009d) Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 15 January 2013
