What is recorded here
No visible chamber or standing stone exists to photograph. The fulacht fia is buried beneath Shean Upper, preserved only in the factual description and the stones recovered before development.
A large spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was exposed during archaeological testing in advance of a large housing development and was excavated in 2006. Excavation revealed troughs, a roasting or fire pit and a possible shelter. A small area of burnt bone, which post-dated the fulacht fia was exposed a short distance to the SW. (pers. comm. D. Sutton)
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
