Aghantaraghan was the discovery, when the topsoil had been removed, of an area of fire-blackened soil. Sometimes flint tools or implements are found at these Archaeologists were called and, having inspected the site, sites but none was discovered here. Animal bones are declared the site to be prehistoric and of some often found on similar sites but in this case again nothing archaeological interest. In due course a pile of stones was was discovered. This has led the archaeologist to uncovered which confirmed that this was what is known speculate that this was a ritual site of some kind, used on in Ireland as a ‘fulachta fiah’ or primitive cooking place. special occasions - as opposed to a domestic one used by a family or small group - and that whatever was cooked These discoveries are relatively common in Ireland and, here was consumed elsewhere. while there is some debate about their function, it is generally accepted that they were used for cooking meat. The dig uncovered a ‘cooking-hole’ close to the ‘fire- mound’. It was roughly oval or circular in shape about four or five feet in diameter and up to three feet deep. It was capable of holding quite a large joint of meat or even a whole animal, such as a small wild boar. This again would suggest that the cooking done here was for a sizeable community rather than a small family-group. Also uncovered near the fire mound was an area roughly ‘paved’ with stones, the purpose of which is not known, and two larger stones which could conceivably have been used as primitive seats. By the time suggested by the archaeologists the people who constructed and used this site were more settled than the hunters and gatherers of an earlier time and while they may still have hunted and gathered, they were probably also involved in primitive farming.
