What is recorded here

Fahee North holds one surviving fulacht fia, a small mound of burnt stone and ash where several once stood. The site dates to the Bronze Age, when people heated water for cooking, cleaning or ritual before forgetting the place beneath pasture and wall. What remains is not grand, but it is direct: fire worked stone, stone kept heat, and human hands repeated the work often enough to leave a mark the land still carries.

In partly overgrown stony pasture. Listed as ‘Fulachta fiadh’ in the RMP (1996) on the basis of a map annotation by Tom Coffey; ‘several fulachta fia here, largely destroyed’ (SMR file). An inspection in 1999 identified only this fulacht fia which comprised a small overgrown mound (diam. c. 5m; H 0.8m) of burnt stone and ash, on which loose stones were piled. A modern field wall overlay the E and S edge of the mound, with briars growing beyond the wall. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 13 June 2023
