What is recorded here
No visible monument remains in Commeen, though a vanished kitchen fire may have boiled water and cooked food beside the field. The lost fulacht fia is not a grand chamber or a named heroic hall. It is a missing domestic place, recorded only because someone remembered that the land once held a destructive or forgotten shape.
A 'destroyed' fulacht fia in the townland of Commeen was recorded by Casey (1983, 274). It has not been precisely located.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
