What is recorded here

In level pasture flanking the S bank of the Mannin River. When inspected in 1998, patchy traces of shattered stone and charcoal-rich soil were visible intermittently through the thin sod cover, possible the remains of a fulacht fia levelled during land reclamation. It was not possible to determine the limits of the mound. A fulacht fia (MA093-043001-) is located c. 100m to ESE. There is no trace of a third possible fulacht fis (MA093-043005-) located some meters to NW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 June 2022
