What is recorded here

Kilsarkan East holds a levelled fulacht fia where burnt black earth and shattered red stone still form a low mound. People heated water there without a visible source, perhaps drawing from hidden ground or carrying it from elsewhere. The site was flattened about twenty years before 1986, yet its shape remains obvious in the soil.
