Fulacht fia in Kilgulbin West — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Hot water raged in Kilgulbin West when people lived there, but the fulacht fia has vanished from modern sight. A plough once broke through the grass to reveal burnt, fire-shattered stones, proving the basin existed before human memory faded. The earth swallowed the marker again, leaving only the risk that violence or neglect will erase the rest.

An area of burnt, fire-shattered stones were uncovered during ploughing; no surface trace survives today (local information). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 82. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
