What is recorded here
No visible chamber or rock tray survives, only a low ridge of burnt rubble beside a wet drain. That missing tray may have been stone, wood or living flesh, and the ridge may mark the last visible part of a place that turned water into steam for food, cloth or ritual.
In wet pasture, at the base of a steep S-facing slope. A low mound (10m E-W; c. 6m N-S; H c. 0.7m) of burnt material. A drain containing water lies immediately to the N. This may be the fulacht fia, in Rossanean townland, included in an appendix of fulachtaí fia by M. J. O'Kelly (1954, 151). (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
