What is recorded here
Thirty metres from the fulacht, two enclosures and a possible boulder burial wait in the grass, suggesting a settled life rather than a passing cookfire. The kidney-shaped mound still holds burnt material along the Coomeelan stream, preserving the heat and labour of people who transformed raw nature into a working place.
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. A grass-covered kidney-shaped mound (4.8m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.65m) of burnt material on the E bank of the stream. The mound is indented slightly along its W side and burnt material is exposed at S. Two enclosures (KE102-041----, KE102-041001-) and a possible boulder-burial (KE102-041002-) are c. 30m to the NW, NNW and N, respectively. There is another enclosure (KE102-041003-) c. 40m to the W.
