What is recorded here

Burnt mound in Treanacally OR Hagfield is a low, overgrowth-covered mound of angular stone fragments in dark peaty soil, partly hidden beneath brambles and rough pasture. It sits at the base of rising ground, with a large stone visible on its south edge and a field fence immediately to the west. According to the landowner, a wider circular stone-lined area once lay just south of the mound, but land reclamation disturbed it until only uneven ground and scattered stones remained. The place still holds the shape of human activity, even if much of its clarity has been lost beneath soil, growth and change.

It is difficult to determine its full dimensions. A large stone is visible on the S edge of the mound. There is a field fence immediately to W. According to the landowner, immediately to S of this mound there was a circular area (diam. c. 10m) defined by a rough low line or kerb of stones. This area was disturbed during land reclamation. When inspected, this area was evident as uneven ground, disturbed by clearance activity/burning of tree stumps, and covered in brambles. A few isolated concentrations of stones were visible but formed no coherent pattern. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 December 2020
