What is recorded here

Agharinagh holds a fulacht fia, a cooking pit where heat and water met. It sits in pasture about thirty metres west of a spring, marked still by a spread of burnt material. The extent remains unknown, but the function is clear: people brought water to a fire, not fire to a water jar.

In pasture, c. 30m W of spring. Spread of burnt material noted; extent not determined. 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
