Fulacht fia in Brownswood

It was identified in 1944 when the owner used the burnt stone on a roadway (Ranson 1945, 54 5). It is situated beside a well in a fold on a steep W-facing slope of the Slaney valley, with the N-S river c. 380m to the W. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (02E0961) of topsoil stripping of the area immediately to the N failed to produce any related material (Walsh, F. 2006). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 July 2012
