What is recorded here

In 1887, during the construction of a bog road, traces of a number of fires were identified between c. 1.5m and c. 2.1m below the peat. All of the hearths were paved with stones. One large example was semicircular in plan (diam. c. 9m) (Wood-Martin 1887-8, 278-81). Some of these features probably represented the remains of fulachtai fia. They appear to have been partly or entirely destroyed during the road construction. Their exact location was not recorded. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
