Fulacht fia in Drom Óinigh

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

No stone, trench or scar remains visible in the Drom Óinigh pasture, yet the lost fulacht fia still belongs beside the fort three yards south. It is not a vague claim about ancient activity; it is a recorded kitchen, cooking place or ritual heating site on Mr Nunan's land. The earth has taken back its shape, but the distinction between invention and evidence still holds: this is a named fulacht fia, not an imagined one.
In pasture. One of two fulachta fiadh (10751) recorded by Bowman (1934, 703) on Mr Nunan's land; described as ' 3 yards S of the fort' [moated site 14199]. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
