What is recorded here

A fulacht fiadh (KE071-051002-) is located on the bank of a small stream, c. 150m SW of the larger enclosure. The horseshoe-shaped mound has overall dimensions of 7m N-S 8.5m E-W and stands 1.4m high. At its N side, facing the stream, is a sloping, subrectangular depression, 3.4 x 1.3 x .45m deep. The mound is composed of small fire-shattered stones and blackened earth with a high charcoal content. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 29. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
