Fulacht Fian (Site of)

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

No stones remain, only a garden where a hot-water bath may have vanished beneath a house. The loss is ordinary and terrible: domestic comfort erased a place where people gathered to heat water, cook food and mark the landscape. Forgetting is not neutrality; it is a choice made with a hammer.
In a garden, c. 80m SE of Round Castle (KE066-017001-). There are no visible remains of this fulacht fia. According to local information, it may have been destroyed during the construction of a house.
