Fulacht fia in Fahalea

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Fulacht fia is a water-heating cooking or bathing site, not a boundary marker. In Fahalea it is recorded near a rath in undulating pasture, but its exact place has slipped from the land. That absence makes the site harder to dismiss: someone heated water there, fed people or cleaned the day’s dirt from their skin, then left the stones for rain and grass to forget.
In undulating pasture. According to local information, there was a fulacht fia near a rath (CO099-075----). Its precise location is not known. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
