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

- MA112-112: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA112-112----. Located in lowlying flat, reclaimed pastureland. This fulacht fia was discovered during archaeological monitoring of the Lough Mask Regional Water Supply Scheme (2001-2002) and was subsequently fully excavated (01E0966) (Guinan 2015, 90-99; 101-103, Fallakeeran I). It had been heavily disturbed in the recent past. It consisted of a low subcircular mound (3.5m N–S; 5m E–W; max. D 0.4m) of burnt sandstone in a charcoal-rich matrix, which rested on a layer of peat. A possible trough, consisting of a subcircular cut (1m by 1.2m; D 0.2m) with a shallow concave profile, was found beneath the main body of the mound. A second possible trough, subcircular (0.95m by 0.8m) with steep sides and a flat base, was found under an isolated deposit of burnt stone, 7m to SE. It was truncated on the SE edge by a modern water pipe. Eight flint flakes and blades, a chert core-scarper, and three fragments of animal bones (two cattle, one possible pig) were recovered. A charcoal sample submitted for radiocarbon analysis produced a date (3925 +/-45 BP (2500-2280 BC) indicating activity at the site in the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. Another fulacht fia (MA112-113----) was located 150m to SW. (Guinan 2015, 90-99; 101-103). Compiled by: Jane O’ Shaughnessy Date of upload: 3 March 2016

This burnt mound was discovered during archaeological monitoring of the Lough Mask Regional Water Supply Scheme (2001-2002) and was subsequently fully excavated (01E0966) (Guinan 2015, 90-92; 99-103, Fallakeeran II). It had been heavily disturbed in the recent past, and only a small residual deposit (2m NW–SE; 5m NE–SW) of burnt stone and charcoal remained. No trough was found. A fragment of animal bone (cattle) was recovered. A charcoal sample submitted for radiocarbon analysis produced a date (2992 +/-26 BP (1320-1120 BC) indicating use of the site in the Middle/Late Bronze Age. There is a burnt mound (MA122-114---- c. 35m to SSW, and another (MA112-115----) c. 100m to SW. Another fulacht fia (MA112-112----) was located c. 150m to NE. (Guinan 2015, 90-92; 99-103).

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.
