What is recorded here

Thirty metres of wet Cork earth hold three burnt ovals, each one a ancient kitchen where water was heated until it sang. Cattle have grazed the largest mound into a shallow grassy ridge, yet the shape still protrudes beside the ringfort like a forgotten drum. People may have gathered there to cook, clean or celebrate before the stones cooled, their laughter lost beneath centuries of rain.

In waterlogged ground c. 15m SW of ringfort (CO054-00701-). Grass-covered oval mound of burnt material (L 10m; Wth 6m; H 0.3m); much eroded by cattle. Two other fulachta fiadh (CO054-135---; CO054-136---) to NNW and NNE. 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.
