The National Monuments Service's description
(j) Fulacht Fiadh: An irregular, but vaguely kidney-shaped, grass-grown mound of burnt and fire-shattered stones measuring 12.4m NW-SE x 1.75m in maximum height. The depression at its WSW side appears to have been revetted with stones, some of which stand upright and some of which have now collapsed. (Fig. 17)
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
