Burnt mound at H208 045 is a prehistoric burnt mound, or fulacht fiadh, sited in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. This form of monument typically dates to the Bronze Age and comprises a mound of fire-cracked stone, pottery and ash, formed through repeated episodes of heating stone and quenching it in water. The practice may have been associated with cooking, industrial processes or ritual activities. The mound's location in Fermanagh places it above bedrock of the Tyrone Group, a complex sequence of limestone, mudstone, sandstone and siltstone formed during the Visean period, interspersed with subordinate deposits of chert, coal and conglomerate. These local stone sources would have provided the raw materials for heating and the surrounding landscape the fuel and water necessary for the monument's creation and use.
The site is protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference 9580.
