What is recorded here
This fulacht fiadh was located in marshy land less than 200m SW of the Laune river. In the late 1970s the land was deep-ploughed prior to afforestation, and no visible trace of the site survives. The landowner described it as a horseshoe-shaped mound and stated that is was located close to a spring.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 413. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
