What is recorded here

Half a metre of grass hides a kitchen where water boiled in stone. The northern edge has broken open to show black soil and shattered rock, proof that heat once lived beneath the turf. People may have stood at this mound, waiting for pots to sing before carrying food or medicine back through the valley.

'The site is situated in the upper part of a gently sloping, south facing field, approximately 30m south of KE030-086----......The field has been cleared to some extent and the mound has been partly damaged on its northern side, exposing charcoal blackened soil and fire shsttered stone. The site consists of a low grass covered mound 0.52m in maximum height and measuring 9.5m N-S by 8.2m E-W. There is no visible trough area.'
