What is recorded here

Five burnt spreads mark the valley floor, but this one remains a seventeen-metre mound of fire-cracked stones and charcoal. It sits beside two springs and a stream, suggesting people gathered water and heat in the same shallow dish. The black soil still holds the shape of repeated flames, while the nearby ridge watches the valley like a quiet judge.
