Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

On a SW-facing rock outcrop overlooking the Caher River in the Khyber Pass. Initially identified by Michael Mahon (1991). A mound of burnt stone split in two by a relatively modern N–S orientated track. The W portion is oval (c. 7.5m N–S x 5.5m E–W; H 1.4m). The E portion is roughly circular (3m N–S; 3m E–W; H 0.6m) and located c. 3m from the N end of the W portion. The mound was probably once a classic horseshoe-shape (c. 11.5m E–W; 7.5m N–S; max. H 1.4m) open to the S. The remains of two other fulachtaí fia (CL002-074002- and CL002-074003-) are located c. 45m to the NNE.
