This one sits in the townland of Clare in County Mayo, an unassuming mound that quietly belongs to a tradition stretching back to the Bronze Age. The name, roughly translating as "wild deer cooking place," reflects an older interpretation, though archaeologists now debate their precise function; the leading theory is that they served as outdoor cooking sites, where stones were heated in a fire and dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to a boil. The characteristic horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt and fire-cracked stone that typically marks these sites is essentially the accumulated debris of that repeated process, millennia of discarded, shattered rock built up into a low ridge around a central hollow.
