What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on the NE bank of a river and adjacent to the ESE side of a possible fulacht fia (KE101-054001-). A sod-covered crescent-shaped mound (6m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; H 0.8m) of burnt material with the opening (1.6m NE-SW) facing SW towards the river. The mound is eroded at SW along the riverside. An upright stone (0.35m x 0.2m; H 0.4m) protrudes from the top of the mound at W. Another possible fulacht fia (KE101-054003-) is adjacent to the ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
