Located at the edge of a WNW facing slope, adjacent a natural basin of peat overlying marl. This fulacht fia was uncovered at a depth of 0.3-0.4m below the surface during pre-development testing in May 2014 in advance of the construction of a football pitch (Excavation licence: 14E0144). It consisted of an irregular-shaped concentration (12m NE/SW; 6m NW/SE) of blackened soil and heat-shattered rocks with occasional charcoal. The outline of a subrectangular trough (1.7m NNW/SSE and 1.2m) was visible 1m to S. The trough was filled with re-deposited subsoil and heat-shattered rocks, and it was not possible to determine its exact form. The fulacht fia was disturbed in the past; it was cut on the NW side by a trench (Wth 1-1.3m; D to the NW) orientated NE/SW. To the W of the trench and down the WNW facing slope were two smaller areas of displaced burnt material. The first area (1.9m N-S; 1.3m E-W) was located 1.3m W of the main spread, and the second area (1.3m N-S x 0.6m E-W) was located 1.3m NW of the main spread. The fulacht fia was not fully excavated. It was covered with a terram membrane and 300mm of sand, and is preserved in situ below the football pitch. (Pers. comm. Richard Crumlish, consultant archaeologist, November 2015). There is a burnt mound (MA078-069----) located 50m to WSW.

This burnt mound was uncovered at a depth of 0.3-0.4m below the surface during pre-development testing in May 2014 in advance of the construction of a football pitch (Excavation licence: 14E0144).

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.
