What is recorded here

Pits excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0670) and described as 'a complex of six roasting pits excavated into the underlying gravel. The pits were subcircular, averaging 1.5m north-south by 1.2m, with an average depth of 0.4m. The roasting pits would not have retained water and were filled with burnt sandstone and limestone in a charcoal-enriched matrix.'
