What is recorded here

In pasture, on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Drombohilly River. A spread (7.5m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.15m) of burnt material is visible directly outside the SW corner of a farm building. The landowner encountered a large mound of burnt stones and black earth at this location when digging foundations for the building. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE109-066001-) c. 65m to the SE. 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
