The National Monuments Service's description
On the N edge of Parke G.A.A club’s playing pitches at the NE foot of a broad ridge. Reported (along with a second possible fulacht fia, MA070-091001-, c. 80m to the WNW) as a spread of burnt stones and charcoal revealed by drainage (SMR file). No visible surface trace survives and archaeological test excavation (Licence No. 21E0490) carried out in the area in advance of pitch improvement works revealed nothing of archaeological significance: https://excavations.ie/report/2023/Mayo/0033273/
