Burnt pit in Killeisk

To the NE of the start (or end) of the droveway is a group of pits over an area 10m x 7.5m. Many of the pits contained 'burnt stone and charcoal' style fills. No reports of slag but this would be a good area for burnt stone activities - perhaps an EM style Burnt Mound for cattle processing as at Balriggan, Dundalk. Perhaps external 'campsite' activities associated with drovers. However, this could also be the remains of a Bronze Age burnt mound. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
