What is recorded here

Burnt mound consisted of a few pits and a rectangular trough. Te trough had a dense cluster of stakeholes on the upslope side. The site had been cut through by the original avenue to Greenhills house. The avenue was seen by a cambered road (gravel base) that had a masonry ha-ha on the southern side. The northern side was marked by a drainage ditch. By 1904 the Avenue had gone out of use and was enclosed across the area of Greenhills 2 (W) by a ditch. This appears to have formed a rectangular garden at the end of which was a large posthole built shed (some of the posts were large and square). Area E: very small burnt mound spread and a continuation of the Avenue ha-ha wall. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
