What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture at the foot of a N-facing slope. According to local information, a mound of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was encountered here during the reclamation of this formerly marshy area. There were no visible remains of this possible burnt mound in 2005 when the field was under pasture. Another possible burnt mound (CO097-078----) lies c. 100m to the ESE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
