Fulacht fia in Ballynacourty

Some 175m to the W of another fulacht fiadh (GA103-035----), close to the N bank of a small stream in a broad shallow valley, which opens out to the sea a short distance to the SW. This fulacht fia consists of a roughly horseshoe-shaped grassy mound (13m N-S; c. 12m E-W; H c. 1.1m) opening towards the E. It is well defined from S to W; elsewhere its limits are marked by a change of vegatation. The position of the trough area is marked by nettle growth. There is another fulacht fia (GA103-037003-) c. 2.5m to the S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 November 2019
