What is recorded here
In wet pasture, on the E of a stream which flows N along the W side of a flat-bottomed valley. One of several fulachtaí fia and burnt mounds which occur over a distance of 1.5km along the base of the valley. When first recorded this appeared as a low rise (c. 8m NNE-SSW; c. 5m ESE-WNW) with angular stone fragments in black soil exposed along the W edge (OPW 1994). It was covered with sod and rushes and its full extent was not determined. As a consequence of land reclamation works in 1995 it was largely obscured by deposits of soil. There is a burnt mound (SL019-245----) c. 8m to NNE, and a burnt mound (SL019-247----) is c. 6m to S.
