What is recorded here

Fulacht Fiadh is a burnt mound in County Cork pasture, recorded beside a possible ringfort and one of three sites Bowman identified on James O'Connell's land. Its irregular shape, eastern opening and shallow height suggest people heated stones, dropped them into water and used the boiling for cooking, cleaning or ritual. The pasture may have covered a place where heat, water and repetition made ordinary life feel ceremonial.

In pasture, c. 25m E of possible ringfort (13120). Irregular mound of burnt material (18m NE-SW; 15m NW-SE; H 0.52m); possible opening (Wth 4.6m) faces E. One of three fulachta fiadh (11413, 11414) recorded by Bowman (1934, 520) on James O'Connell's land. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
