What is recorded here

Fulachta Fiadh in County Cork, Ireland, is one of three linked sites where hot stones and water may have prepared food, bathed tired bodies or marked a boundary in the landscape. The burnt spread still lies in rough grazing, waiting for someone to walk its edge and imagine the steam rising at dusk.
In rough grazing. Spread of burnt material noted; extent not determined. One of a group of three fulachta fiadh (CO061-135001-; CO061-135003-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
