What is recorded here

Ten metres south of a rath, three fulachtaí fia are scattered across a gentle slope in Curraghcloonabro East. The nearest is a low, horseshoe-shaped mound of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, its waterlogged opening facing northeast. People may have gathered there to heat water for cooking, cleaning or ritual, while the other two sites waited thirty-eight metres south and eighty metres northwest.
