What is recorded here

Located in the NW sector of Lough Rea on what appears to be an earlier shoreline of the lake at a depth of approximately 1.3m. This possible fulacht fia, the most westerly example of two (see also GA105-228001-), was noted during a survey of the nearby crannog (GA105-197----) c. 120m to the SE. It consists of a shallow circular mound (13m E-W and 9m N-S) with a rectangular feature off centre towards its SE. Its appearance suggests that this is possibly a fulacht fia but it may be a hut site (information from K. McDonald). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 9 January 2019
