What is recorded here

Six crescent-shaped mounds of fire-cracked stone emerged along the stream bank when marshy ground was drained in 2018. People likely heated water in hidden troughs for cooking or cleaning, leaving behind charcoal-rich soil and broken rock. The flat landscape hides a long history of practical work beside the water.

In flat, low-lying terrain on a slight rise of ground immediately NE of a stream, now covered, running NW-SE. Ground formerly very wet and marshy but reclaimed early summer 2018 when the field was drained and seeded with grass. This and five other fulachta fiadh (KK008-203----; KK008-204----; KK008-205----; KK008-207----; KK008-208----) were exposed during the reclamation work. They form a roughly linear alignment along the NE bank of the stream. Located 60m SE of KK008-205---- and 18m NW of KK008-207----. Crescent-shaped mound (dims. 8m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW; H 0.5m above possible trough area; H above ext. 0.4) of fire-cracked stone with area of charcoal rich soil extending to the NW (total dims. including mound 16m NW-SE; 18m NE-SW;). Trough probably within the inner curve of the crescent, on the NW side of the mound. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 September 2018
