Burnt mound

What is recorded here

Archaeological testing (Tinnynarr 1) in 2004 in advance of roadworks exposed a burnt mound (9.4 x 7.9m). It lay outside the area of the road-take and was preserved in situ (McQuade 2007, 250–51). A possible fulacht fia (LF015-085----) lies c. 130m to the NNW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 November 2011
Burnt mound in Tinnynarr is a prehistoric ritual or industrial site, likely dating to the Bronze Age, associated with the fulacht fia tradition. Its significance lies in providing evidence of ancient water-heating practices and domestic or ceremonial activities in the region.
