• CO015-155 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In boggy ground, planted with coniferous trees. Discovered when cultivation trench (Wth 1.3m; D 0.7m) bisected mound and partially destroyed wooden trough. Excavated September/October 1991 by J.

Trough pit rectangular and steep-sided; base lined with four oak planks; sides with combination of planks and thin narrow timbers; SW end of trough destroyed by cultivation trench (surviving L 1.4m).
