Comments | EH Birstall Watermead Country Park: burnt mound sequence Birstall Watermead Country Park- Charcoal; charcoal from the latest layer of shattered stone and charcoal, which overlay other burnt spread layers around the timber-lined trough. Charcoals from these spreads are thought to represent the 'working life' of the trough. Definition between the layers of burnt material was not clear (often relying on slight changes in colour, density, and shifts in proportions of Charcoal to silt etc) but they were all well-compacted enough to suggest they were not residual or reworked. | |
