What is recorded here

A limited excavation in 2000 was carried out adjacent to an enclosuse (TS060-004----) (Hodkinson 2002, 322). It revealed a c. 0.1m thick deposit of burnt stone and charcoal, sandwiched between c. 0.3m of topsoil and the natural subsoil (ibid.). The deposit appears to measure 14-15m N-S by 7-8m E-W (ibid.). The deposit is in the lowest and dampest part of the field, and it is tentatively identified as material from a fulacht fiadh (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 July 2014
