Fulacht fia in Knockanush East — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knockanush East once held a fulacht fia in marshy ground beside the stream dividing it from Kerries East. People may have gathered there to heat stones, boil water or cook food while the valley steamed around them. Drainage pipes and land improvement later erased the mark, leaving only a hidden memory beneath the field.

'This monument is marked as "fulacht fian" on the OS second edition maps and is located in marshy ground on the northern side of the small stream that marks the boundary between the townlands of Knockanush East and Kerries East. There is now no trace of this site and it has presumably been levelled during the course of land improvement works. Linear marks within the field clearly indicate that drainage pipes have been placed in the area.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
