What is recorded here

Fulacht Fian is a vanished cooking pit in County Cork, Ireland, hidden beneath marshy ground beside a stream. Roadworks may have erased the last trace of the hole where hot stones once crashed into water to steam food for travelers. The site belongs to memory now, preserved only in written description rather than soil.

In marshy ground beside stream. No visible surface trace; possibly destroyed by roadworks. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
