Burnt Mound c300m NE of Blind Lane

1 The site, when visited, comprised a layer of angular quartzite pebbles within a dark soil matrix, revealed as an exposure in the SE bank of the River Alne. The pebbles display signs of heat fracture. It seems likely that this site is similar to the excavated Burnt Mounds of the south Birmingham area, and could be Bronze Age in date.
