The National Monuments Service's description
In the 1940s a fulacht fia measuring '10 feet [3.04m] by 7 [2.13m] and 5ft [1.52m] high' was recorded in Pat Doherty's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). Interestingly, the same account states that the origin of the townland name is 'Gleann GhrissÃn' i.e. 'glen of the boiled meat'. This fulacht fia has not been precisely located.
