Administration / Biographical History: A survey of burnt mound sites was carried out by J J Woodcock as part of her PhD research on the Manx Bronze Age.

A list of 39 burnt mound sites with grid references and plot numbers was created. A shorter list A to P was compiled of sites that had been visited. These sites have additional details. A large proportion of the archive is material on the burnt mounds discovered in 1980 at Upper Lhergydhoo, German which were considered as open air cooking places, and those found at Kerrowdhoo in 1992.
