• TN020-142 Fulacht fia
  Description

  This linear burnt stone spread (dims. c.10m N-S; c.40m E-W), was discovered during fieldwalking of the ploughed route of the N52 Nenagh Bypass link road (Hughes and O'Brien 1999). The spread runs parallel with the present field boundary to the NE and also appears to lie within the line of an older, levelled, field boundary (ibid.). Associated finds include a sherd of medieval pottery and a fragment of modern pottery (ibid.). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• TN020-153 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed a fulacht fiadh consisting of a spread of burnt material measuring 5m x 14m with two small pits beneath the burnt spread.
