This one asks you to imagine what was removed. In a field at Moohane in north County Kerry, the visible evidence of a fulacht fia amounts to little more than a scatter of isolated burnt stones lying in the soil, the last remnants of something that was largely cleared away before anyone thought to record it properly.

A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking or industrial site, typically consisting of a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stones accumulated over repeated use, often beside a water source. They are among the most common archaeological monument types in Ireland, found in their thousands, yet individually they tend to go unnoticed until a plough or a drainage scheme encounters them. At Moohane, that is precisely what happened. The landowner, a Mr Walsh, reported that during ploughing and drainage work a mound of burnt stones was removed from the field. The account comes from C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, which captured the site shortly after the bulk of its physical presence had already disappeared. What the mound originally looked like, how large it was, or how old it might have been, was not recorded before the work took place.
