On the western outskirts of Ballina town, located close to the base of an E facing slope. This fulacht fia was discovered in 2019 during archaeological testing of a green-field site in advance of a proposed housing development; it was subsequently fully excavated (Crumlish 2019). There was no surface trace of the fulacht fia prior to the pre-development testing. Excavation revealed that the fulacht fia consisted of a mound (8.2m N–S, 2.5-5.2m E–W; D 0.33m) of blackened soil, heat-shattered stones and charcoal. It was roughly horse-shoe shaped in plan, opened to the E. It overlay natural subsoil of grey/cream-coloured clay. A roughly rectangular-shaped trough (1.6m WNW–ESE, 1.35m NNE–SSW; D 0.27-0.33m) was centrally located beneath the burnt mound, cut into the natural subsoil. It was filled with burnt mound material and an orange-brown clay. Three post-holes (diam. 0.13-0.19m; D 0.18-0.3) were cut into two corners of the trough, two in the WSW corner and one in the NNW corner. A plectrum-shaped pit (1.28m N–S, 0.5-1.15m E–W; D 0.22-0.36m) was located 1.7m NE of the trough. It had a stepped profile, with the N half of the pit was deeper than the S half; both halves were flat-bottomed with steep sides. It was filled with black friable silt loam with charcoal flecks, above burnt mound material, and was cut into subsoil. A shallow ditch (Wth 0.15-0.55m; D 0.08-0.2m), enclosing a small oval area (1.3m NW–SE; c. 0.75m NE–SW) was located 2m to E of the fulacht fia. No artefacts were recovered during the excavation. Another fulacht fia (MA030-099----), located 20m to N, was also excavated. (Crumlish 2019).

On the western outskirts of Ballina town, located close to the base of an E facing slope. This fulacht fia was discovered in 2019 during archaeological testing of a green-field site in advance of a proposed housing development; it was subsequently fully excavated (Crumlish 2019). There was no surface trace of the fulacht fia prior to the pre-development testing. Excavation revealed that the fulacht fia consisted of a mound (10.65m N–S, 5.7-7.8m E–W; max. D 0.35m) of blackened soil, heat-shattered stones and charcoal. It was horse-shoe shaped in plan and opened to the E. It directly overlay natural subsoil of grey/cream clay. A trough (1.6m E–W; 0.95-1.0m N–S; D 0.3-0.5m) underlay the mound. It was subrectangular in plan, with steep sides and a relatively flat base. The lowermost layer of fill was of burnt mound material, above which was a mix of burnt mound material and re-deposited natural subsoil. A large, partly heat-shattered, boulder was found resting on the base of the trough, centrally located in the W half. Immediately to N of the trough there was a cluster of stakeholes. They occurred in two rows, orientated ENE/WSW, 0.2-0.4m apart; ten stakeholes in the S row, and seven in the N rows. The stakeholes (diam. 30-70mm; D 20-120mm) were oval, roughly circular or roughly triangular in plan, and were filled with dark brown organic material. A roughly oval-shaped pit (1.8m E–W, 1.0-1.5m N–S; D 0.16-0.27m) was found 0.5m to W of the trough, beneath the centre of the burnt mound. It had steep sides at W and N, a gentler slope on the S and E sides, and a relatively flat base. It was filled entirely with burnt mound material. There were three stakeholes cut into its base, in a NNW/SSE line in the E half. No artefacts were recovered during the excavation. Another fulacht fia (MA030-098----), located 20m to S, was also excavated. (Crumlish 2019).
