Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

An ancient cooking pit in Aglish pasture, where a second similar feature lies about fifteen metres west, belongs to a time when people heated water with stones and prepared food or bathed in open fields. The burnt material still spreads across the grass, marking a place where heat, water and daily life met before roads or walls changed the land.
In pasture. Spread of burnt material noted; extent of spread not determined. Second fulacht fiadh (CO072-100001-) c. 15m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
