What is recorded here
Fulacht fia in Aughvallydeag is a fulacht fia in Aughvallydeag, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2006 account recorded a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt material rising 0.5 metres, measuring 12.2 metres north to south and 11.6 metres east to west, with a shallow depression on the east face that may mark a trough area beside a natural spring. The mound had been levelled since that inspection, leaving fire-cracked stones spread across the wet, poorly drained pasture.
