What is recorded here

Fulacht fia in Killoran (Moyne parish) is a fulacht fia in Killoran (Moyne parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the base of a gentle south-facing slope in undulating countryside. The site contained intercutting troughs, including a subcircular pit twenty-three decimetres long, eighteen decimetres wide and forty-five centimetres deep. Charcoal from that first trough returned a radiocarbon date of 2585 to 2195 BC.

Situated at the base of the gentle S-facing slope of a low rise of ground in undulating countryside. A nearby burnt mound and fulacht fia (TN036-050/024/027) lie 10m and 60m to the N and E respectively. The site consisted of a fulacht fia with several intercutting troughs. The first trough (dims. L 2.3m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.45m) consisted of a subcircular pit containing a fill of grey clay, fire-cracked stones, charcaol and silty clay. This charcoal was radiocarbon dated to 2585-2195 BC. The second trough consisted of an oval pit (dims. L 2.1m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.47m) which partially cut into the N edge of the first trough. These troughs were partly covered by a truncated horseshoe-shaped spread (dims. 10.8m E-W x 8m N-S) of burnt sandstone, silt and charcoal. (Stevens 2000, 198) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
