What is recorded here

Two barely discernible grass covered spreads of burnt material in flat pasture, along N bank of stream with archaeological complex (OF024-036----) to the N. Probably the site of two levelled fulachta fiadh. Present remains consist of a poorly preserved horseshoe shaped mound (6m N-S by 3m E-W; H 0.5m) of burnt material. The second fulacht fiadh located to the E consists of a low mound (8m WSW-ESE; 4m NNW-SSE; H 0.5m) with shallow depression running N-S across mound. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 3/1986).
