Burnt mound excavated in advance of road construction (Licence no. 08E055). A deposit of burnt mound material (8.5m x 13m x 0.4m) sealed a large waterhole, two troughs and two small pits. Charcoal samples of the burnt mound material consisted of ash, oak, wild/bird cherry and willow poplar. Radiocarbon dating of a sample of hawthorn and crab apple charcoal from one of the lower fills of the waterhole returned a calibrated date of 1886-1746 BC placing this activity in the early Bronze Age (McLoughlin 2009a, i).
