EH Birstall Watermead Country Park: burnt mound sequence Birstall Watermead Country Park- Charcoal; charcoal found within the cut of hearth feature 318. Stones lining the feature were reddened on their upper faces (ie burnt in situ). The charcoal represents the final heating episode of the hearth and may be contemporary with the final heating episode of the trough. Charcoal from fill 317 is more likely to represent the final heating episode; charcoal in fill 315 may be reworked.
