Burnt spread in Rangue

Burnt spread

What is recorded here

A probable burnt spread or fulacht fiadh, found 0.6m below current ground level. The test trench was extended to the north and south and the site appears to have been situated along the edge of a body of water to the west. The deposit of heat shattered stone and charcoal-rich soil is at least 0.75m in thickness and its extent can be measured as 14m north/south by 8.5m east/west. This has been preserved in situ but there is no surface trace. Compiled by: Aidan Harte Date of upload: 7 July 2016
