What is recorded here

Flint, charcoal and hot water turned ordinary bog into life. People heated stones until they cracked, dropped them into a wooden trough, and waited for steam to rise through the flat green dark. The mound still holds that rhythm, waiting for hands to remember what the water knew.

Located in a flat expanse of boggy ground. A farm track, bordered by a drainage ditch, is located 6m to NW, forming the W boundary of the field. Low, roughly circular mound (diam. 7.7m) with a slight central depression, possibly indicating the position of a trough. A small section, denuded by farm stock, reveals characteristic burnt stone and charcoal fragments. There is burnt mound (MA081-053----) c. 65m to SE, and Rathnaguppaun Castle, a tower house (MA081-15001-) is located c. 100m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021
