This is the record for Area B in Red Tobin's excavation (E3259) on the N11 road improvement scheme. This consisted of four pits/post-holes. Each pit/post-hole was c. 0.3m diameter and contained charcoal-rich fills. Three further pits were in close proximity forming a line of pits/post-holes orientated roughly 3.5m north–south; they were located c. 14m to the east of this cluster of features. The site was interpreted as being structural in nature, possibly representing a prehistoric structure Bronze Age in date. (Tobin 2009g) Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 17 January 2013 - WI031-105: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI031-105----. This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3249) on the N11 road improvement scheme. The mound showed two phases of activity. The earliest phase comprised a pit, hearth and postholes and dated to the early Bronze Age. The second phase comprised a trough, and numerous pits and hearths. This phase dated to the middle/late Bronze Age. Both phases were dated by radiocarbon dates.
