What is recorded here

On marshy ground at the foot of a steep slope on the N side of a broad shallow valley, some 210m to the NNW of another fulacht fia (GA103-035----). This fulacht fia is defined by a low grassy oval mound (11m NNE-SSW; 8m ESE-WNW; H 0.7 max.) that is cut through on the N side by a grass-covered trench running on a ESE-WNW axis. No discernible trace of the trough area is evident unless it is in the area disturbed by the trench. Two other fulachta fia (GA103-037001- and GA103-037002-) lie c. 210m and c. 220m to the SSW respectively. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 November 2019
