What is recorded here

No visible water source exists at the listed site, yet three fulacht fia mounds sit in wet pasture beside streams flowing south and east. The largest stretches fourteen metres, hides under ferns and briars, and still shows burnt stone beside a bedrock outcrop. A later field wall cut through what may have been one continuous cooking place, while a holy well waits twenty metres north. People likely heated stones, dropped them into water, and ate or cleaned beside the steam.

In low-lying, wet pasture, with streams flowing to the S and E. Listed as ‘Fulachta fiadh’ in the RMP (1996). This fulacht fia comprises an elongated suboval mound (14m NNE-SSW; 6m ENE-WSW at N; av. H 1-1.2m) overgrown by trees, briars, moss and ferns but with exposed burnt stone and ash visible. The N end of the mound overlies a bedrock outcrop and there is a spread of burnt stone immediately to the W. A second fulachta fia (CL010-037003-) lies immediately adjacent to the S, and a third (CL010-037004-) a few metres beyond that. It appears that the two most northerly fulachta fia (CL010-037002-) and (CL010-037003-) were originally conjoined, but were separated by a later field wall. There is a holy well (CL010-038001-) c. 20m to the N. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 9 February 2023
