Overview

History & significance

Burnt Mound 170m S of Jubilee Cottages is a prehistoric burnt mound situated in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference PE476. Burnt mounds, also known as fulachtaí fia in Irish archaeology, are accumulations of fire-cracked stone and charcoal debris that typically date to the Bronze Age, though some examples extend into the Iron Age. These monuments are generally interpreted as the remains of cooking or heating facilities associated with domestic activity, where stones were heated in fires and used to boil water in wooden troughs for food preparation or industrial purposes such as hide working.
