What is recorded here
Knockaneacoolteen holds a wide scar of burnt material in wet pasture west of a stream, waiting for rain or memory to reveal what it swallowed. The landowner found the spread during early 1970s reclamation, suggesting human fire and loss long before modern tools opened the ground. The chart records a burn event, not a palace or graveyard, yet the size and damp setting imply a place where life was ended or discarded in a single violent act.
In wet pasture, to the W of a stream. A large spread of burnt material was noted by the landowner during land reclamation in the early 1970s. Some burnt material is visible in the area. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
