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

- MA030-095: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-095----. On the N outskirts of Ballina town, located at the base of the W-facing slope of a low grassy N–S ridge, on the edge of a lowlying area of reeds and scrubland, through which a small stream flows. This fulacht fia was discovered during monitoring of the Ballina main drainage scheme, and was subsequently fully excavated (licence no. 06E0195) in 2006 (Zajac 2009). There was no surface indication prior to soil stripping. It underlay a shallow layer of peat, and overlay subsoil. The mound of burnt stone, ash and charcoal had been disturbed in the past, and was found in two discrete concentrations, the larger concentration (c. 5.2 E–W; 5.8m N–S; D 0.35m) being 1m to N of a smaller patch (3.8m NE–SW; 2.2m NW–SE; D 0.2m). On the W edge of the larger concentration of burnt stone, there was a trough (L 3.2m NW–SE; Wth 1m; max D 0.35m), oval in plan, with a flat base and almost vertical sides, except at NW where there was shallow, sloping side. A single, tangentially-split oak plank (L 2.7m; Wth 0.55; T 0.08m) remained in situ, lining the base of the trough. A flat-based cylindrical pit (diam. 0.4m; D 0.48m) was uncovered c. 3.5m S of the trough, under the smaller patch of burnt stones; the N edge of the pit had a shallow cut sloping toward the pit opening, possibly acting as a channel to allow water to flow into it. Artefacts recovered during the excavation included a retouched chert blade, struck debitage, and a small quantity of animal bones. (Zajac 2009). Another fulacht fia (MA030-096----) 35m to N was also excavated. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 13 August 2019
- MA030-096: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-096----. On the N outskirts of Ballina town, located at the base of the W-facing slope of a low grassy N–S ridge, on the edge of a lowlying area of reeds and scrubland, through which a small stream flows. This fulacht fia was discovered during monitoring of the Ballina main drainage scheme, and it was subsequently excavated (licence no. 06E0195) in 2006 (Zajac 2009). It had been levelled in the past, and there was no surface indication prior to soil stripping. It underlay a shallow layer of peat, and overlay subsoil. The fulacht fia consisted of the remains of a subcircular mound (5.8m N–S; 5.2m E–W; D 0.35m) of heat-shattered stones, charcoal and ash, beneath which was an unlined circular trough or boiling pit (diam. 1.3m; D 0.6m), with a flat base and steep sides. The lowermost fill of the trough was of burnt stone and angular boulders, above which was a layer of compacted peat. Two post holes were found, one 1.3m to SW of the trough, the other 6m to E. No artefacts were found in association with the fulacht fia, but three pieces of iron slag were found in an unstratified context in this area. (Zajac 2009). A portion of the fulacht fia mound extended beyond the development way leave, and remains in situ. Another fulacht fia (MA030-097----), located 35m to S, was also excavated. (Zajac 2009). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 13 August 2019
- MA030-104: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-104----. On the N outskirts of Ballina town, located at the base of the W-facing slope of a low grassy N–S ridge, on the edge of a lowlying area of reeds and scrubland, through which a small stream flows. This monument was discovered during monitoring of the Ballina main drainage scheme, and was subsequently fully excavated (licence no. 06E0195) in 2006 (Zajac 2009). A cluster of three stakeholes (each, diam. 0.2m; D 0.2-0.35m) was found in the vicinity of four discrete thin spreads (each c. 0.4m x 0.5m) of burnt stone and charcoal, which were confined to a relatively small area (8m N–S; 6m E–W). The fill of one of the stakeholes was almost entirely composed of charcoal. The remains as a whole were too meagre to be readily interpreted, however, given that two fulachtai fia (MA030-095----; MA030-096----) were found 50m and 22m to S, respectively, it is possible that they represent an occupation site associated with those fulachtai fia or perhaps the disturbed remnants of a third fulacht fia. (Zajac 2009). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 August 2019

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
