What is recorded here

Located in rough, poorly drained pasture, on the W bank of the Fiddaunglass stream, a tributary of the River Deel. There is a forestry plantation to NW. A low irregular-shaped, heather-covered rise (4m N-S; 3Mm E-W) of burnt stone fragments in black soil located at the edge of the stream. The nature of this mound is uncertain: its small size and disturbed appearance suggests the possibility that it is displaced material, possibly even derived from a partly destroyed fulacht fia (MA038-205---), which lies 12m to N. One in a linear cluster of fulachtaí fia/burnt mounds (MA038-203--- to MA038-208----) located along the course of the stream. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 August 2019
