What is recorded here

Burnt mound in Tylagh is an undisturbed fulacht fiadh where heat, water and patience met. Its shallow ridge still marks the place where stones were fired, water was poured, and food or bodies were made ready. The nearby stream gives the mound its life, while the land holds the shape of repeated work.

'This site is located 100m to the west of KE030-010----, recorded as an earthwork but interpreted here....... as a ring-barrow. This particular example has not been disturbed by field clearance and is an impressive example of a fulacht fiadh. It measures 8m N-S and 8.6m E-W. The trough area is located to the north-west and measures 2m X 1.5m. A stream runs past the site on this side at a distance of 15m. The mound is a maximum of 0.80m in height.'
