- MA111-093: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-093----. In pasture, located at the base of a low hill at the W edge of a boggy hollow. This fulacht fia was exposed during topsoil stripping in the course of works associated with the construction of a sewage treatment plant in an adjacent field to S. As the site lay outside the development area, it was not excavated but was recorded, covered by geotextile and backfilled. The ground level of this area was raised by 1.5m as protection from further disturbance. The exposed archaeological features covered an area of 5.4m NE–SW by 7.4m NW–SE and comprised four distinct adjacent spreads of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-rich soil, which were interpreted as the levelled remains of a fulacht fia. One of the spreads formed a distinct rectangular outline, 1.6m x 0.8m, that suggested it might represent an infilled trough. A flint core and a chert flake were recovered. (Pers. comm.

Located in poorly drained rush-grown pasture. Ground falls away gradually to S to the Robe River. This fulacht fia was fully excavated (98E0389) in 1998 in advance of the construction by Mayo County Council of a sewage treatment works at this location (Gillespie 1998, no. 484). It consisted of a roughly oval mound (19m x 9m; D 0.6m) of heat-shattered stone in a matrix of charcoal stained, black silty clay. The mound incorporated a rectangular trough (1.9m x 1.3m; D 0.2m), and a roughly circular pit/trough (diam. 0.9-0.95m; D 0.26m). Another possible rectangular trough, less clearly defined, was also found. Associated finds included several struck chert flakes, one flint end-scarper, and fragments of antler and bone. Two other fulachtai fia (MA111-094002-; MA111-094003-) were located a few meters to E, and an area of prehistoric activity (MA111-094004-) was located c. 80m to W.

This fulacht fia was fully excavated (98E0389) in 1998 in advance of the construction by Mayo County Council of a sewage treatment works (Gillespie 1998, no. 484). It consisted of a horseshoe-shaped mound (12m N–S; 17m E–W; H 0.7m) of heat-shattered stone and charcoal-rich soil. Centrally located was a trough (3.5m x 2.3m; D 0.1m) with c. 35 timber stakes at or near its sides. There was also a second trough, square in shape with sides 1.6m long. Other features included a post-hole and a drain. Artefacts recovered included struck chert flakes, antler fragments and worked wood. Another fulacht fia (MA111-094001-) was located a few meters to W, and a third (MA111-094003-) a few meters to E. An area of prehistoric activity (MA111-094004-) was located c. 80m to W.

Several pieces of worked chert, and some flint and quartz were recovered. The lithics indicate prehistoric activity, probably Bronze Age in date.
