Burnt mound in Tonreagh Lower

'The small field in which these mounds are located is extremely wet and marshy. The nearby recorded fulacht fiadh (KE029-136----) is a classic horseshoe shaped mound......total dimensions of this mound [KE029-260----] are 14.0m N-S by 7.00m E-W (not the total diameter E-W as the western side has been truncated ) and is 1.00m in height. It is now covered with a growth of grass and reeds, and is stone-filled. No trough area is apparent.'

Burnt mound in Tonreagh Lower is a fulacht fiadh, typically dating to the Bronze Age, and is associated with prehistoric cooking or processing activities. Its presence in a wet, marshy field suggests it was part of a broader landscape of temporary or seasonal use.
