Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Knockroe holds a broad oval mound of burnt stone inside a wet hollow, marking an ancient kitchen where heat and water turned rock into life. It sits sixteen metres from a holy well, joining temporary hunger to permanent devotion. People may have gathered there to cook, clean or celebrate before carrying water upward into the world. The mound still breathes beneath its poached surface, waiting for hands to remember the work it did.
In a low wet hollow from where ground rises gently on all sides. An oval mound (ext. dims. 14.7m E–W; H 0.5m; c. 7.4m N–S), obscured to S by cleared stone and bushes and retained along the N by possible revetting stones. The upper surface is poached revealing its composition of burnt stone. A holy well (CL007-005002-) lies 16m to the ENE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 30 September 2021
