Burnt spread in Dromteewakeen — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Dromteewakeen holds a charcoal-stained oval where deep ploughing in 1989 exposed and damaged a fulacht fiadh. The flat scar lies near a stone row and two other burnt sites, forming an unusual cluster in South Kerry. People may have heated water there for cooking, cleaning or ritual, but the earth now keeps only cracked stones and dark soil.

Deep ploughing at this location in 1989 resulted in the levelling of a fulacht fiadh. It was located a short distance SW of a stone row (KE082-007001-), and close to two other fulachta fiadh (KE082-005---- & KE082-005001-) at E. It survives as a spread of charcoal and fire-cracked stones, 8m NE-SW x 6m NW-SE. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 427. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
