What is recorded here

Two pits of burnt stone still mark Moanduff, though ploughs and roads have taken the rest. Heat, water and repetition built that mound, not a single event. A kitchen, a workshop or a ritual bath may have stood there before memory ended. The road now passes above the place where people made heat do useful work.

Excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number E3736). Two pits filled with burnt mound material were uncovered. The excavator suggested that these may have been the remains of a ploughed-out fulacht fia. (Phelan S. 2009, 6-7) Reference: Phelan S.
