What is recorded here
Seven fulacht fia dot Curraheen, though marsh and time have swallowed most of their shape. This one hides south of the stream, its burnt stones choked by grass yet still visible when a drain cuts through the mud. People may have gathered here to cook, clean tools or share heat beside moving water. The site resists measurement, but it does not resist memory.
In marshy ground, c. 130m S of stream. Overgrown spread of burnt material, the dimensions of which could not be determined. Burnt material visible in recently cut drain. Second fulacht fiadh (10686) c. 200m to NE. Probably one of seven fulachta fiadh (see 10687) recorded in townland by Bowman (1934, 391).
