Talk:Burnt mound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am confused about this. You are duplicating information that is already in the Fulacht fiadh article. Is your plan to eventually merge these, or do you feel that there is enough of a distinction between the two that they deserve separate articles? --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Fulacht fiadh is a term that is specific to Ireland, while the burnt mounds are found widely across Britain and other parts of Northern Europe. However, the term burnt mound is also used for similar material that is not associated with troughs, particularly in Orkney. I found a stub article on burnt mounds which had sketchy information of little value, so I decided to develop it, putting in more useful information and references. If someone wants to amalgamate the articles, fine, but I'm not proposing to do so. -- Iain1917 19:59, 22 October 2006
