What is recorded here

Hot stones cracked and hissed in Raheen, proving the mountain could be bent to human hunger. Power wrote in 1923 that the small name-giving lios stood nearby before destruction, yet the overgrown burnt mound still resists forgetting. It is not a grand palace or a polished monument; it is a kitchen, a workshop, a temporary fire made visible in stone. The scrubland keeps its edge, hiding the exact shape but preserving the fact that people lived there, heated water, and left behind a scar the mountain has not erased.

In scrubland on E foothills of Nagles Mountains and c. 200m NE of fulacht fiadh (CO044-002---). Heavily overgrown mound of burnt material. Possibly this is site mentioned by Power (1923, 191) as 'small name-giving (Raheen) lios which stands in mountain surrounding [and] is now nearly destroyed'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
