• WX037-090001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Archaeological monitoring (06E0069) of an extensive area (dims. c. 350m N-S; c. 200m E-W at N; c. 350m E-W at S) in Holmestown Great uncovered an area of burnt mound material on a proposed access road in Knockeen townland that was excavated under the same licence, and proved to be two fulachta fia. The N example was better preserved and consisted of a mound of broken and burnt stone (dims 16.5m E-W; 14m N-S; T 0.05-0.15m) which overlay an oval trough (dims 1.75m E-W; 1.35m N-S; D 0.55m) filled with silty clays, suggesting it remained open for a considerable time. There were the bowls of two trees nearby, but two pits were c. 5m to the NE. The pits (dims 1m x 0.8m; D 0.15m; 1.8m N-S; 0.8m E-W; D 0.2-0.3m) contained moderate amounts of burnt stone. No artefacts were recovered. Fulacht fia (WX037-090002-) is c. 17m to the S. (McLoughlin and MacManus 2010, 5-6) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 February, 2013

  Archaeological monitoring (06E0069) of an extensive area (dims. c. 350m N-S; c. 200m E-W at N; c. 350m E-W at S) in Holmestown Great uncovered an area of burnt mound material on a proposed access road in Knockeen townland that was excavated under the same licence, and proved to be two fulachta fia. The S example consisted of two pits filled with burnt mound material that were probably troughs, although no mound survived. One pit consisted of two conjoined pits, filled partially with burnt stone and with stake-holes to the SW. 1.7m to the SE, the second trough was sub-rectangular (dims 2.1m x 1.1m; D 0.22-0.56m) and filled with deposits containing heat-shattered stone. There were numerous stake-holes and two post-holes in a cluster c. 1m to the S. No artefacts were recovered. Fulacht fia (WX037-090001-) is c. 17m to the N.
