'Situated in a large reclaimed field immediately to the east of a small tributary of the River Lee, which was deep ploughed in 1997, are a series of low stone-filled mounds. Boulder clay is obvious where the top of the mound has been denuded, this probably being the result of the sod being turned. Some evidence of burnt stone is apparent.....[the] fulacht fiadh is immediately to the north of an east/west field boundary, and as in the other cases, is substantially destroyed. Its total dimensions are 6.50m N-S by 8.50m E-W and is 0.20m in height. A disturbed central trough area measures 4.00m E-W by 1.00m N-S and opens to the west. The bottom of the trough is 0.40m below the present level of the mound.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
