What is recorded here

In low-lying pastureland c. 145m to the NW of a stream and c. 260m to the SSW of Castle Lough. Identified by Tom Coffey in 1994 (SMR file). This partly preserved fulacht fia comprises a grass-covered, crescent-shaped mound (3.1m N-S; 2m E-W; H 0.35-0.5m) of burnt stone, ash and clay which is open to the NW. A slight subcircular hollow (diam. 1.5m; D 0.2m) at the W may indicate the probable original extent of the mound. A later wall lies c. 7m to the S. There is another fulacht fia (CL010-146----) c. 100m to the SE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 31 May 2023
