What is recorded here

Clogheenmilcon is a fulacht fia in County Cork, a low mound of shattered stone born from centuries of heating rocks and plunging them into water. The name suggests wild deer cooking, yet bathing, brewing or textile work remain possible uses. Near a standing stone and open tillage, the site preserves the discarded byproduct of repeated fire and water, keeping a prehistoric rhythm alive in the Cork landscape.

In tillage, c. 100m N of standing stone (CO062-198----). Stone (H 1.95m; 1.1m x 0.55m) is subrectangular in plan, long axis NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
