What is recorded here
Mammals and humans both need heat, food and warning. The fulacht fia in Ré Na Ndoirí is a cooking or heating site, not a boundary or a chamber. It stands beside the stone circle in rough grazing, fifty metres northwest, and local information recalls burnt material spreading during reclamation works. No visible trace remains, but the place still distinguishes what people made hot from what they left cold.
In rough grazing, c. 50m NW of stone circle (CO069-026----). According to local information, spread of burnt material seen during reclamation works. No visible surface trace.
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.
