What is recorded here
Hot stones, water, steam, heat. A fulacht fia is a cooking or bathing fire made visible in stone. Reanasup keeps that shape in Kerry pasture, a shallow burnt disc wide enough for several people to gather around. They may have cooked together, cleaned wounds, or marked a boundary with heat. The grass has swallowed the pit but not the purpose.
In pasture, on a N-facing slope. A roughly circular mound (8.6m E-W; 8m N-S; H 0.25m) of burnt material. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
