Recorded on the archaeological register as a burnt spread, it marks a location where charred or fire-cracked material, often the debris of ancient cooking or industrial activity, was once found or deposited. In this case, however, nothing of it remains above ground. The record exists; the evidence does not.

What is known comes from local memory rather than excavation. At some point, burned material was spread across this pasture during land reclamation, a practice that involved clearing, draining, or otherwise preparing ground for agricultural use. The burning itself may have been incidental to that work, or the material could have been moved from elsewhere on the land. Either way, the act of reclamation appears to have erased the physical traces of whatever was there. About twenty-five metres to the south-west, a well survives, quietly outlasting whatever accompanied it on this hillside.
