Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Archaeological testing (09E0475) during 2009 on the route of the N5 Ballaghadereen bypass identified a deposit of burnt mound material (dims 10m NE-SW; 2m plus NW-SE; T 0.2m) that was set aside for resolution as Toobrackan 2 (O'Neill 2009, 17; 2012). It was completely excavated (10E0301) when two rectangular troughs (dims 0.8m x 0.63m; D 0.3m: 1.7m x 1.1m; D 0.25m) were recorded beneath the remains of a burnt mound. The larger trough produced a C14 date of 1111-902 cal. BC. (Kyle and Delaney 2011a, 4; Kyle 2013d) Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 9 February, 2012.
