'A second probable fulacht fiadh existed around 30m to the north of [KE038-106----]........the site was further up the stream and was around 20m from it, in a water logged area of ground. The site was, according to the land owner, similar in size to [KE038-106----]....(8m X 11m) but remained to a greater height. The site was destroyed during land reclaimation in the early 1980's and burnt, shattered stone was visible.'

'This is located on a sheltered shelf on the western side of Knockawaddra Mountain. This site has extensive views to the north and east over the surrounding mountain and bog. The land in this area is predominantly used for turf cutting, and some very rough grazing for sheep. The site survives as a low horseshoe-shaped mound, measuring 10.0m N-S by 9.00m E-W and has a maximum height of 1.00m. A trough area occurs in the centre and is 0.40m below the crest of the mound. Total dimensions of this trough area, which opens to the north are 3.00m N-S by 2.00m E-W. A small stream runs in a N-S direction down the mountainside c.50.0m to the west of this site. Probing with a ranging rod revealed this mound to be stone-filled.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.

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.
