What is recorded here

Burnt mound in Tylagh is a small grass-covered hill of heated stone, measuring seven metres long and rising half a metre above the Kerry ground. It sits thirty metres south of a larger recorded site, suggesting people returned to this spot repeatedly to boil water, cook food or clean tools. The missing trough and flattened shape hint that later field work scarred the place, yet the hot stones still mark a kitchen of the distant past.

'Situated 30m to the south of RMP KE030-012----, recorded as fulacht fiadh, is a smaller example of this site type. It consists of a small stone filled, grass-covered mound measuring 7m N-S and 6m E-W. No trough area is apparent and the mound is 0,50m in maximum height. The site has been affected by field clearance in the area.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly.

Burnt mound (fulacht fiadh) dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age. These sites are significant as they provide evidence of ancient cooking or processing techniques, though the absence of a trough at this site suggests possible variation in construction or later disturbance.
