Fulacht fia in Kilcor North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilcor North holds a fulacht fia where burnt material still spreads through tillage east of the castle. A slight rise marks the area beside a western stream, suggesting people heated water or food in that damp ground long ago. The site transforms ordinary farmland into a place where heat, water and human labour met repeatedly.

Spread of burnt material in tillage to E of Kilcor castle (CO045-05701-); slight rise in area of site; stream to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
