What is recorded here

Hot stones hissed in water at Milleencoola, turning a quiet field edge into a kitchen for hunters and travellers. The site stretches at least twelve metres east to west beside a small stream, large enough that several people could have stood around it while meat cooked or baths steamed. It is easy to imagine the smell of fat and wood smoke carrying across the pasture, drawing anyone nearby into warmth and company.
