In former pasture under the Limerick Southern Ring Road 20m from the townland boundary with Ballysimon. The excavation of a levelled fulacht fia under licence No. 01E0484, identified during monitoring of topsoil stripping, was undertaken prior to the construction of the Limerick Southern Ring Road in June 2001 (Collins 2001; Collins 2003, 242-3). The site was noted as a spread of burnt material (dims. 10m by 8m) centred on a trough feature. The sub-rectangular trough contained the trace of one timber, 1.43m in length, in a very poor state of preservation. Two modern drains were cut into the fulacht fia mound; both were filled with burnt stone. It appeared that the fulacht fia had been levelled during localised land reclamation (Collins 2003, 242-3).
