What is recorded here

Coldwinters holds a small oval pit between two ridges, its depth half a metre and its width barely larger than a person outstretched. Forty-three stake-holes mark two parallel lines beside it, suggesting a fence or light structure that shaped the place rather than leaving it empty. The pit filled with burnt mound material, a fulacht fia, where heat and water may have worked together before the road took the land.

Forty-three stake-holes arranged in two parallel lines suggest a fence -line or light structure related to the use of the pit (Campbell, K.2003, 90).
