Fulacht fia in Ballyknockan (talbotstown Lower By.)

Situated in a marshy field on the N bank of a stream on a NW-facing slope. According to a local farmer an irregularly shaped mound (H c. 0.5m; diam. c. 8m) existed here which was made up of fire-cracked stones and black earth. Levelled in 1986-7 when a pit-like feature was also noted within the mound. (Information A.
