What is recorded here

Thirty metres of grass separate two burnt mounds in Tylagh, yet both still wear the same blackened shape. One measures ten by twelve metres and rises barely forty centimetres above the ground, small enough for a person to stride across but large enough to contain repeated heat, water and patience. No trough remains visible, but the similarity between them suggests a place where people returned often, heating stones and filling hollows until the earth itself remembered the work.

'This site is situated 40m to the north of RMP KE030-013----, recorded as a fulacht fiadh. This mound is very similar to KE030-013----. It measures10m N-S, 12m E-W and remains to a maximum height of 0.45m. Again no distinct trough area was visible.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
