Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed evidence of a Fulacht Fiadh which covered an area approx. 15.65m N-S x 7m. A particularly dense area of charcoal was evident within the NW quadrant measuring 5.5m x 5m. This was removed revealing nine pits/depressions which varied in shape, length and width. The largest measured 5m x 1.5m and the smallest had diameter of 0.9m. The depth varied ranging from 0.25m to 0.6m (Bennett 2002, 318). Excavation was carried out under licence No. 00E0211 (Bennett 2002, 318). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
