What is recorded here
Graigueooly holds a seven-metre disc of burnt stone and charcoal, buried beneath reclaimed pasture but still proud enough to resist the plough. It stands beside another fulacht fia and a ringfort, suggesting a busy neighbourhood where heat, water and life entangled. The stones may have cooked food, cleaned tools or marked a boundary between the living and the forgotten. They remain warm to the imagination, even when grass covers them.
In formerly boggy terrain, now reclaimed pasture. A spread of burnt stone and charcoal (diam. c. 7m) discovered during ploughing. Though under pasture when visited in 1989, it was clearly visible as a slightly raised, drier area. There is another fulacht fia (KK022-050----) c. 100m to the SE and a ringfort (KK022-024----) c. 100m to the E.
