What is recorded here

A burnt mound was identified during archaeological monitoring at Rathfarnham Golf-Club (Reid 2002, 116-117). It was located to the W of the Owendoher River. It was associated with several stone-filled pits one of which was a probable trough for a fulacht fiadh. Four posts were identified in the corners of this subrectangular pit. A sample of charcoal from the pit produced a date of 3700+_60BP.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
