What is recorded here

To N of a small E-flowing stream on low-lying level pastureland from which a low but steep-sided ridge rises to S. A low, oval, grass-covered mound of burnt stone (11.4m E–W; 8.2m N–S; H max. 0.5m) with no obvious trough area. It is truncated at the W end by a roadside wall and a N–S depression across the centre caused by livestock reveals its composition. Stones from field clearance have been dumped on its W end. There are three more fulachtaí fia (CL006-081002-, CL006-081003- and CL006-081004-) across the adjacent stream between 5 and 20m away.
