Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A reconsideration the burnt mounds in north-west Wales, focusing on excavated sites in the region covered by the Historical Environment Record (HER) maintained by the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, within which a total of over two hundred examples are currently known from fieldwork and from recent excavations: the list of excavated examples is growing rapidly and although many of these have been published they are frequently considered in isolation, whereas numerous comparisons are now possible. Burnt mounds are often an under-appreciated site type—‘among the most boring sites with which a field archaeologist must deal’. This paper, seeks to overturn this view, however, and to show that this common site type holds a mine of valuable information and deserves much more interest from the archaeological community at large. Their function is still hotly debated; their relationship to settlement remains obscure, and their dating in Wales is only just becoming clarified. | ||
