Fulacht fia in Corrin

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Corrin holds three fulachta fiadh within sight, including an irregular mound of burnt material stretching sixteen metres. They cluster northwest of a possible ringfort beside a stream, suggesting repeated use rather than a single event. People may have heated stones, dropped them into water and waited for steam to rise while others watched the field edge shimmer. The mound still marks that rhythm of heat, water and patience.
In tillage, to NW of possible ringfort (CO035-05003-) and close to two other fulachta fiadh (CO035-05002-; CO035-05004-). Irregular mound of burnt material (16m N-S; 13m E-W; H 0.4m). Stream shown on 1935 OS 6-inch map to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
