What is recorded here

Burnt mound in Lissardboola stood in water-logged ground beside a Kerry stream, large enough to mark and tall enough to remain visible before land reclaimation destroyed it in the early 1980s. Its shattered stone still spoke of heat, water and repeated use, while the lost shape suggests people gathered there to transform ordinary things through fire.

'A second probable fulacht fiadh existed around 30m to the north of [KE038-106----]........the site was further up the stream and was around 20m from it, in a water logged area of ground. The site was, according to the land owner, similar in size to [KE038-106----]....(8m X 11m) but remained to a greater height. The site was destroyed during land reclaimation in the early 1980's and burnt, shattered stone was visible.'

A burnt mound (fulacht fiadh) dating to the Bronze Age; associated with ritual or cooking activities. Its location near a waterlogged area suggests use for heat-treated water, typical of this type of site.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
