What is recorded here
Fulacht fia described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (i)) as; 'Located on the E bank of the river, this horseshoe-shaped mound has been cut away along its WNW side by the river and there is a drop here of c. 2m to the level of the water. A holly tree has also caused some disturbance at the W end of the mound which measures 11m NE-SW x c. 7.3m NW-SE x 1.25m in maximum height. It is composed of a combination of black soil and fragments of burnt stone. The depression at the NE side measures 2.4m x 2.4m, and a large flag partly exposed at its E side may have formed part of a revetment, as may the earthfast boulders a short distance to NE. The wall running N from the mound marks the boundary between the townlands of Ballyhoneen and Kilmore; elsewhere this boundary follows the centre of the river'.
