Fulacht fia in Caherbarnagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Caherbarnagh holds a burnt penannular mound beside a standing stone, marking a place where heat and water met repeatedly. The open seam facing southeast suggests people entered with purpose, perhaps carrying vessels or waiting for steam to rise. Nearby pasture still covers the works, but the mound preserves the shape of that busy, noisy, temporary life.

In pasture, immediately W of standing stone (6621) and NNW of a second fulacht fiadh (7139). Penannular mound of burnt material (20.4m N-S; 17.8m E-W; H 0.4m) enclosing roughly circular area, open to SE (Wth 8.2m); small gap in mound (Wth 1.5m) to NNE. 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
