What is recorded here

A burnt mound was revealed during test-trenching in advance of a proposed residential construction (Excavation licence no. 07E0524). The mound (c. 16.2m x 13.4m) comprised frequent to abundant small to medium pieces of rounded sandstone and large quantities of angular burnt stone and some charcoal flecks. Plough furrows had spread the material N and S (the dimensions cited include this spreading). A souterrain (KK031-070---) lies c. 145m to the N.
