Description
This round ring in the ground is a remnant of a charcoal pile from when charcoal was produced in the area. The tenant of the land was required to deliver coal to the ironworks at Rånäs bruk. Charcoal was made by burning wood under low-oxygen conditions.
The most intensive production of charcoal in this area occurred while the ironworks was active in Rånäs, from 1774 to 1896. This particular ring was marked on a 1912 map of the local forests owned by the old ironworks at Rånäs bruk.
