The National Monuments Service's description
This fulacht fia was excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed a thin scatter of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, an oval trough (1.6m x 1.24m; D 0.54m) with three associated stake-holes, a smaller irregular pit and two post-holes. (Cotter 2006f, 61)
