Bronze Age Site - Liddle Burnt Mound
In 1957, a year prior to finding the Tomb, Ronnie had a similar stoke of luck when he dug into a mound of burnt stone revealing a man-made wall. The true extent of his discovery was only realised during the full excavation by archaeologist John Hedges and his team in 1974 and 1975.
For many years it has been thought that this structure was a family dwelling, featuring a large central cooking pot, a fireplace, a number of beds and an impressive running water system. However, in recent years, there has been considerable debate about this providing numerous suggestions, both practical and spiritual e.g. beer-making - www.mooregroup.ie
A visit to the 'Tomb of the Eagles' allows you to explore this enchanting site and develop your own interpretation.
At 86, after more than 3 decades entertaining visitors, Ronnie is enjoying his retirement. Hopefully some of his wit and wisdom will be passed on by his successors.
