The National Monuments Service's description
Deep ploughing at this location in 1989 resulted in the levelling of a fulacht fiadh. It was located a short distance SW of a stone row (KE082-007001-), and close to two other fulachta fiadh (KE082-005---- & KE082-005001-) at E. It survives as a spread of charcoal and fire-cracked stones, 8m NE-SW x 6m NW-SE.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 427. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
