Fulacht fia

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. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
