Fulacht fia in Kiltoom

In flat poorly drained pasture land with Yellow River marking boundary between Kiltoom and Coolure Demesne to W and N. Ring-barrow (WM007-006----) 90m to W. A low horse-shoe shaped mound (dims. 8m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.6m). Cultivation ridges (Wth 1.2m) aligned NW-SE run across the surface of the mound and possibly obscure the location of the trough area which may have been on the E side. In the adjoining field 50m to S are three low mounds (H 0.5m) which are situated on wet poorly drained land surrounded by reeds and may represent the remains of possible cooking sites. In 2015 McGuinness (2015, 56-7) was unable to locate any surface remains of the fulacht fia in this field. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 February 2017
