Pit in Rincullia

Pits excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0670) and described as 'a complex of six roasting pits excavated into the underlying gravel. The pits were subcircular, averaging 1.5m north-south by 1.2m, with an average depth of 0.4m. The roasting pits would not have retained water and were filled with burnt sandstone and limestone in a charcoal-enriched matrix.'
