- WM026-071 Fulacht fia
Description
Situated at the base of a W-facing slope of a low ridge, in wet pasture. Ringfort (WM026-070----) lies c. 90m to NW. Monument described in 1982 as a small mound of earth and burnt stones. The mound (diam. 5m; H 0.5-0.6m) is roughly U-shaped, with a depression to the W, which probably represents the trough. There is a lot of disturbance in the sides of the mound which have exposed large quantities of burnt stone, yet no bone or any other identifiable remains. Monument is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography as a small subcircular-shaped mound. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 02 October 2019
- WM026-072 Field system
Description
Situated on a ridge running NE-SW, in undulating pasture, with fairly good views in all directions. Not depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map or on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1978 as a large complex of low earthen banks and scarps extending along a natural ridge. The banks seem to form a series of rectilinear enclosures and there are three associated house sites (WM026-072001-) forming part of the system. The complex is crossed by later E-W field banks and drains running E-W and is delimited on the N by one such field bank. Outline of earthworks clearly visible on oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP AOY056) taken 12/07/1966. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 02 October 2019
