Fulacht fia in Brusk

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

In low-lying pastureland. A low grassed-over crescentic mound of earth (8m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.6m) with a central hollow (2m E-W; c. 1.5m N-S) opening to W may be the remains of a possible fulacht fia. No burnt stone was evident so it may possibly be a pile of upcast associated with the digging of nearby drainage ditches; one drain cuts across the N end of it. There is a moated site c. 45m to the SW and another possible fulacht fia c. 135m to the SSE. (Cody 1989, 157, no. 12) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 November 2019
