What is recorded here
Two small pits sit close together in County Kerry, filled with burnt, fire-shattered stone. Charcoal from one pit dates to 50BC-110AD. Whatever burned there, it burned hot enough to split rock and leave behind a scar the soil still remembers.
'Two small pits close together and both filled with burnt, fire shattered stone. Charcoal from one of the pits produced a calibrated radiocarbon date of 50BC - 110 AD.'
