What is recorded here
Knockaneacoolteen holds a fulacht fia, a boggy pasture mound where heat and water collided repeatedly. Its burnt remains suggest people gathered there to cook, clean or transform materials under open sky. The site is no longer a dramatic ruin, but a low grassy ridge in rough ground. That quiet shape preserves the effort of hands, fire and patience.
In rough boggy pasture. A partially levelled grass-covered mound (c. 22m N-S; c. 16.6m E-W; H c. 0.2m) of burnt material. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
