Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

'Three fulachtai fiadh are situated in a small, very marshy field c.150m north of the River Lee, in an area of low ground between two steep ridges..... all of these sites are covered with grass and reeds and contain substantial amounts of shattered red sandstone....[this] fulacht fiadh occurs immediately to the east of the above site [KE030-097----] and was initially thought to be part of KE030-097----, but on closer examination proves to be a separate entity. It is a low sub-circular mound 0.50m in height, 11.0m N-S by 6.0m E-W. The trough area measures 3.0m N-S by 2.0m E-W, 0.2m below the level of the top of the fulacht fiadh and opens to the west.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 27 April 2012
