Fulacht fia in Mashanaglass

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Mashanaglass holds a fulacht fia on a west-facing slope, where grass still covers a spread of burnt material. People may have heated stones with fire, dropped them into water, and prepared food or cleaned tools beside the pasture. The site resists measurement because time has buried its edges, yet the remaining charred ground still marks the place where heat and water met human purpose.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Grass-covered spread of burnt material noted; extent not determined. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
