The National Monuments Service's description
'A second probable fulacht fiadh existed around 30m to the north of [KE038-106----]........the site was further up the stream and was around 20m from it, in a water logged area of ground. The site was, according to the land owner, similar in size to [KE038-106----]....(8m X 11m) but remained to a greater height. The site was destroyed during land reclaimation in the early 1980's and burnt, shattered stone was visible.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
