What is recorded here

Derryarkane holds a broken horseshoe of heat-shattered stone and charcoal soil beside a stream, marking an ancient kitchen where water boiled for food or baths. The mound stretches nineteen metres, partially consumed by gorse and human removal, yet its western opening still faces the valley. A lone standing stone watches from a hundred metres away, suggesting the site remained a place of memory long after the last fire died.

In rough grazing, on the SW side of a stream. A horseshoe-shaped mound (19m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW; H 1.1m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, partially covered with gorse, with its opening (Wth 4m) facing SW. Parts of the mound have been removed, especially along the NE arc, leaving the burnt material exposed. There is a standing stone (CO106-077002-) c. 100m to the SW.
