What is recorded here
Marianne said the fulacht fia still breathes beneath Carrowkeelanahglass, pushing hot water through clay when the bog wind turns sharp. She pointed at the pasture slope, not a marker, and told me the land gives up its kitchen only to someone willing to lose the way back. I watched the grass tilt in bands, black and green, like a pot stirring itself.
On E-facing slope of a rise in pastureland overlooking bogland. Local tradition of a fulacht fiadh; according to the landowner, large quantities of black earth and burnt stone came to light during land reclamation some years ago. No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
