Burnt mound / fulacht fiadh is a prehistoric cooking site located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument belongs to the fulacht fiadh tradition, a widespread Bronze Age practice in Ireland and Britain dating to the second millennium BC, though such sites may have been used across a broader temporal range. Fulachtaí fiadh typically consist of mounds of burnt stone and charcoal, formed through the repeated heating and quenching of stones used to heat water in wooden or skin-lined troughs for cooking and possibly ritual purposes. This example represents an important archaeological witness to Bronze Age subsistence practices and settlement patterns in the Ulster region.
