What is recorded here
Gort An Acra holds a grass-covered spread of burnt material where people heated water or cooked food before the pasture swallowed the marks. The site remains in County Cork, preserved under grass rather than stone, inviting imagination about the steam, noise and purpose that once filled the air.
In pasture. Grass-covered spread of burnt material; extent not determined.
