- CL052-076: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL052-076----. Situated in a very boggy area on a small headland jutting S into Coolmeen Lake. An oval mound of grass-covered stone (L 13.5m E-W) reported by Micheál Mac Gearailt. There is impenetrable overgrowth in the entire central area and the lake laps against the mound at S. A possible trough area can be noted at E beneath the growth. Low bank-like features at N and E may represent disturbance. Some blackened friable stone was evident. This appears to be the location of a fulacht fia note by the Discovery Programme at ITM 552992, 667003. It was described as ‘Sited on edge of Lough Coolmeen. Large noticeable mound of stone (sandstone) which is firecracked. Length is 14m, width is 4.5m. At its highest it measures 1.2m, stepping down 0.7m where it plateaus and steps down a further 0.5m again’. No monument was found at that location and so the mound at the NE edge of the lake seems to be the monument in question. Coolmeen Lake has been of interest at several periods in history. The 14th-century Caithréim Thoirdealbhaigh notes that Lochlainn McNamara was beheaded at Coolmeen and his head and body buried separately (Hayes O’Grady 1929, ii, 56). The location of that burial is not known. The following images have been uploaded: CL052-076----_01.jpg View of fulacht fia from SW. CL052-076----_02.jpg View from S. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 10 June 2019

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
