What is recorded here

Three burning pits cluster in rough Cork grazing, their charred remains still visible after centuries. People likely heated water for cooking or cleansing, transforming raw stone into a temporary kitchen beneath the sky. The adjacent pits suggest repeated use rather than a single event, marking a place where heat and community met before written history forgot the names of those who tended the flames.
In rough grazing. Spread of burnt material noted; extent not determined. One of a group of three fulachta fiadh: one adjacent (CO061-135002-), the other c. 30m to E (CO061-135003-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
