Fulacht fia in Raheen Oughter

In low-lying marshy land c. m to the N of a stream. On inspection in October 1982 this fulacht fia consisted of two low mounds, c. 2.6m apart, composed of black earth and burnt stone. The N mound (7.5m E-W) was more clearly defined than the S one (5m E-W). Current OSi aerial imagery suggests that the monument was levelled when the nearby house was constructed. Two other fulachta fia (GA105-175---- and GA105-175002-) lay c. 20m to the N and c. 60m to the SW respectively. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 November 2019
