What is recorded here

In pasture, in a marshy field. A spread (13m E-W; min. 7m N-S) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched sand was discovered during archaeological test-trenching in advance of the construction of a house. The spread was c. 0.3m below the present ground level and its W edge terminated at a section of the linear earthwork (CO018-001----), known as the Claidh Dubh. This possible burnt mound was not impacted by the development and it is preserved in situ. (Carroll 2007, 1-10) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
