Burnt spread in Ballyhard

This is the 'central' and best preserved of three fairly closely associated burnt spreads (see also GA019-083---- c. 98m to the NW and GA019-085---- c. 42m to the SE), all located on a long gentle W-facing boggy slope, which had recently been drained and ploughed. There were uncovered during the course of that work. This one comprised a very visible and well-defined spread of small burnt stones and charcoal covering an area of 7m E-W by 4.5m N-S.
