Fulacht fia in Tooreen (carberry East, Western Division) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Hot stones, water, steam and hunger: a fulacht fia turned ordinary fire into food, drink or bath. Tooreen lies close to Shehy Mountain and a tributary of the Bandon River, where a drain once threw up burnt stone and charcoal-rich soil. People may have gathered there to cook, cleanse or mark the land before the field forgot them.

This possible fulacht fia was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on the 10th of December 2014. He describes it as follows: "During recent cleaning of a drain in this field a large quantity of burnt stone and charcoal rich soil was brought up to the surface. It is not possible to see exactly where the burnt spread is but it is somewhere immediately south of the causeway over the drain, connecting two fields. A large fulacht (CO093-090--) is sited c 150m to the north west and a stream runs c10m to the south. It is a level area of improved grassland, close to the base of Shehy Mountain. The stream is a tributary of the Bandon River.'' Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 16 December 2014
