Rathpatrick Fulacht Fia

Rathpatrick Fulacht Fia stands in County Kilkenny as a ghost kitchen where hot stones once crashed into water to boil food for drifting bands. The name suggests a place set aside for feeding followers, perhaps during festivals or hard winters when hunger turned ordinary villages into tents of smoke and shout. No building remains to prove the joy or the despair behind the steam, only the shape of the basin and the memory of heat.
