## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- MA107-012: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA107-012----. In pasture, located on a gentlE S-facing slope on the W bank of a rocky stream, which flows S to join the Owenmore River. Croagh Patrick is visible on the far horizon to NNW. This fulacht fia is well preserved. It is evident as a compact horseshoe-shaped mound (10.5m N–S; 7.5m E–W), with a deep, well-defined central depression (2m N–S; 3m E–W), which opens to the stream at E. The mound is composed of a dense concentration of heat-shattered stone fragments in a matrix of black, charcoal-rich soil. It has a pronounced slope (H 1.25m) on its S side, where it has been built up higher due to a natural fall of ground, with a lower shirt (Wth c. 1m) of mound material protruding at the base of the mound here; on the W-N arc, there is a much lower, gentler slope (H 0.4-0.5m at W, 0.3m at N), merging almost seamless on the N side with the surrounding ground. A number of large stones are visible at the base of the mound along its E edge where it borders the stream; it is possible that some of these were deliberately set to prevent the accumulated burnt stone slipping into the stream. A single large stone (L 1.25m N–S; Wth 0.3m; H 0.27m) protrudes from the edge of the mound at SW. Large, relatively flat slabs of natural bedrock border the stream immediately to N of the fulacht fia, and might have provided a convenient seating area. Notified to NMS by Michael Gibbons.

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.
