What is recorded here
Carhoonoe holds a fifteen-metre scar of burnt material on an NNE-facing slope beside the Yellow River. A shallow spring emerges immediately north of the blackened earth, suggesting people once gathered where water and fire met. The distinction between accidental burning and deliberate ritual remains unclear, but the alignment of flame, water and slope hints at repeated human use rather than a single disaster.
In rough pasture, on a NNE-facing slope, to the SSW of the Yellow River. A spread (15m E-W; c. 9.7m N-S) of burnt material. A spring was noted in a hollow (D 1.3m) immediately N of the spread. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
