- CL010-080: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL010-080----. In lowlying rough grazing prone to flooding from Skaghard Lough to the NE. Indicated on Robinson's map of the Burren (1977). This fulacht fia comprises a U-shaped mound (12.6m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.5-0.7m) which is open to the ESE and is composed of heat-shattered stones. The mound is fairly evenly proportioned with its N (Wth 6.8m) and S (Wth 4.8m) ‘arms’ of similar external height (0.6m). The subrectangular central area (2.4m E-W; 1.2m N-S) has a slight outer scarp (Wth 1.1m; ext. H 0.3m) on its open, ESE side. A later field wall, running NNE-SSW, appears to truncate or overlie the W edge of the mound. There is another fulacht fia (CL010-081----) c. 110m to the NNE. See attached image: CL010-080----_01.JPG Monument viewed from SSW. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 11 May 2023
- CL010-081: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL010-081----. On low lying ground at the S edge of a small pond (c. 20m NNE-SSW) in an area liable to flooding from, Skaghard Lough to the NE. Indicated on Robinson's map of the Burren(1977). This fulacht fia comprises a mound which is probably U-shaped and is open to the E. However, only the mound’s N ‘arm’ (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m) and S ‘arm’ (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) can clearly be seen; its W part is overgrown with bushes. The central area (c. 2.5m E-W; 1.4m N-S) is also obscured by vegetation. There is another fulacht fia (CL010-080----) c. 110m to the SSW. See attached image: CL010-081----_01.JPG Monument viewed from E.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
