Fulacht fia in Aglish

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Mud still holds the heat of stones that boiled water for hunt or feast. Three fulachta fiadh mark the north bank of the Aglish stream, this one buried under marsh and forgotten time. To stand there is to hear dripping, steam and footsteps in rain.
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 (CO072-091001-; CO072-091003-). 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
