What is recorded here

Fulacht fia in Corrin is a cooking site with a 16-metre spread of burnt material in tillage, near a possible ringfort and two other fulachta fiadh. A stream once ran nearby, giving the place water for heat, food and life. The stones may have steamed meat, warmed hands or gathered people when the land was younger.
In tillage, to NW of possible ringfort (CO035-05003-) and close to two other fulachta fiadh (CO035-05001-; CO035-05004-). Spread of burnt material (16m N-S; 16m E-W). Stream shown on 1935 OS 6-inch map to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
