Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Hot stones, cold water, steam rising under an old oak. People may have cooked, cleaned or gathered there before the field was reclaimed. The horse-shaped mound still faces the ditch like a forgotten offer made to the living world.
This fulacht fia was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on the 10th of December 2014. He describes it as follows: "Horse shaped mound, partially levelled, in NW corner of a large reclaimed field of pasture, next to a stream. It is about 20m north of site one [CO093-108----] and adjacent to the same open drainage ditch. The mound has its open side facing the drain c. 3m to the west. Its total size is c. 10m N-S, 6m E-W, 0.5m in height with the opening of the trough c. 3m in width. It is under the spreading branches of an old oak tree.''
