Burnt mound in Annamult is a fulacht fia, typically associated with the Early Bronze Age in Ireland. These sites are significant as they provide evidence of prehistoric cooking or industrial activity, though their exact function remains debated.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
