What is recorded here

Aglish holds three fulachta fiadh along one stream bank, suggesting repeated use rather than a single event. The middle site still shows a spread of burnt material in marshy ground, though its full extent remains unclear. People may have gathered there to heat water, cook food or prepare flax, trusting the stream to supply what the fire transformed. The cluster implies a familiar place, returned to often enough for the ground to remember the heat.

In marshy ground, on N side of stream. Spread of burnt material noted; extent not determined. One of a group of three fulachta fiadh along N side of stream (CO072-09001-; CO072-09003-). 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
