What is recorded here

Kealagowlane holds a crescent of heat-shattered stone beside a stream on Sugarloaf Mountain, where water and fire likely met to boil food, heat baths or prepare hides. The mound still shows charcoal-rich soil and a narrow opening facing the water, while two smaller burnt mounds wait nearby. People may have stood at this edge, listening to the mountain and watching steam rise from the trench.

In rough grazing, on the SE bank of a stream on the S-facing slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain. A crescent-shaped mound (9.5m NE-SW; 8m NW-SE; H 1.05m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The opening (Wth 1.4m) faces NW towards the stream. Erosion has exposed small patches of the burnt material at NW. Occasional stones protrude from the surface of the mound. Two burnt mounds (CO104-027004-, CO104-027005-) lie c. 30m to the E. A cairn (CO104-027003-) lies c. 90m to the ENE.
