Recorded monuments

• MO034-023001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  One of three possible fulachtaí fia first recorded in 1967 (SMR file) as follows: ‘Mr. Nicholas Marran of Drumgeeny, Co. Monaghan, noticed three small mounds while working in a field in Drumgeeny 7 or 8 years ago. This field is the second, on the W side of the road, form Aclint Bridge and Mr. Marran pointed out the site of these mounds, on the 6-inch OS map, just south of a NW-SE stream where it flows out of Drumgeeny Lough. When Mr. Marron “went down in the mounds” he found “pieces of cut sandstone”, burnt wood (charcoal) and ash and a decorated pot. The pottery vessel had a “wee flower decoration on outside, except towards the bottom, about 9 inches circumference” and same in height which he broke. He found a stone axe and a quern nearby. Many small iron horse shoes have turned up in the same field. The 3 mounds were roughly in a triangle, each about 12 yards from each other. The pot was found in the largest of the mounds. They averaged 5 yards in diameter and 2 feet in height.’ No visible surface trace of the monuments survived in 1967 and the site is now covered over by a concrete products facility.
