  Description

  Situated in a fold on a gentle N-facing slope. Archaeological testing (04E0034) by B. Halpin of a fairly small area (c. 2 ha) identified a burnt mound (excavations.ie 2004:1255), which was subsequently fully excavated (04E0261) by the same archaeologist (excavations.ie 2004:1256). It consists of a circular mound (diam. 9.5m N-S; 9.2m E-W; max. T 0.28m) of a charcoal-rich soil with broken and burnt sandstone. There were four pits (dims 06m x 0.3m; D 0.18m to 1.52m x 1.3m; D 0.38m) filled with the same material outside the spread. A rectangular trough (dims 1.95m E-W; 1.3m N-S: D 0.28-0.45m) with a large post-hole in each corner was beneath the SW edge of the mound. There was some evidence of plank-lining on the S side of the trough, from where a gully (Wth 0.3m; D 0.1m) extended off to the SE (L 3m). No artefacts were recovered, but about 9m to the NE was a second fulacht fia (ME017-069002-). (Halpin 2004) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 26 February 2021

  Description

  Situated in a fold on a gentle N-facing slope. Archaeological testing (04E0034) by B. Halpin (excavations.ie 2004:1255) of a fairly small area (c. 2 ha) identified the fulacht fia (ME017-069001-), which was subsequently fully excavated (04E0261) by the same archaeologist (excavations.ie 2004:1256) when this smaller spread (dims 5.4m x 2.5m; max. T 0.15m) of burnt stone was identified c. 9m to the NE. The mound was cut by a N-S post-medieval stone-lined drain, and there was no trough beneath it. However, an oval pit (dims 2.9m E-W; 1.9m N-S) with a rounded bottom (max. D 0.44m) that contained 3 large stones (max. dims 0.86m x 0.44m; T 0.1m) stacked over each other and three fills with burnt mound material was just to its E. Just N of this pit was a second, round-bottomed pit (dims 1.9m N-S; 1.4m E-W; max. D 0.43m) also containing 3 large stones (max. dims 0.63m x 0.45m; T 0.06m) forming a rough platform at the base, and this pit was also filled with burnt mound material. No artefacts were recovered, but both pits can be interpreted as troughs. (Halpin 2004) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 26 February 2021
