Fulacht fia in Coumduff

Beside a small S flowing stream on the lower slopes of Knockmulanane is a grass-covered mound measuring 7.8m N-S, 6.3m E-W and 2m high. At the W edge, facing the stream, is a horseshoe-shaped depression, 3.5m x 2.8m and .75m deep. Though no burnt stone is visible, the shape and siting of the mound suggest a fulacht fiadh.
