What is recorded here

Situated on a slightly raised area in lowlying wet grassland. A burnt mound identified during excavation of drains for forest development was reported to the National Monuments Service by the Forest Service in March 2017. It comprised blackish charcoal-rich soil with frequent inclusions of burnt stone. The extent of the mound could not be precisely determined (c. 4m E-W; c. 2.5m N-S). The drain cutting through the mound was backfilled at the time of inspection. An exclusion zone around it was left unplanted. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 29 March 2017
