Fulacht fia in Grange (coolock By., Coolock Ed)

Pre-development topsoil stripping revealed a fulacht fia in 2004. It was situated on a SE facing slope in an area of high ground. There is low-lying, marshy ground to the S and E. It comprises five sub-rectangular and sub-circular pit features (Dims. L1.1m-1.78m, Wth 1.66m, D 0.15m-0.3m) and a spread of burnt mound material. Two of these pits were interpreted as trough pits. They had stake holes in each corner (Elder, 2007, 95-96).The ecact location of this monument is unknown. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
