What is recorded here

In low-lying marshy land to the N of a stream. On inspection in October 1982 this fulacht fia was defined by a horseshoe-shaped mound (12.7m N-S; H 0.6m) of burnt soil and stone opening to the S. It was heavily overgrown with gorse at E and W. The current OSi aerial imagery suggests it has since been levelled. Two other fulachta fia (GA105-175---- and GA105-175001-) lay c. 75m and c. 60m to the NE respectively. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 November 2019
