Once these conditions were met a fulacht fiadh could be constructed.

Evidence suggests the fulacht fiadh was in use up until the 5th century AD.

These included ancient cooking places known as Fulachta Fiadh.

Jassim Fiadh al-Shammari, another psychology professor, was fatally shot near the university, also in 2006.

A number of the fulachtaí fiadh pits are approximately a metre wide by 2 metres long and maybe half a metre or more in depth.

Fulachta Fiadh (early cooking sites) have been identified at Aharney and near Ballacolla.

A sweathouse and fulacht fiadh were identified during excavations in 2006 prior to work commencing on development of the eco-village.

The ruins of two round stone walled conjoined prehistoric huts and a fulacht fiadh lie just 40m west of the monument.

The townland has an earthwork, 2 ringforts and a fulacht fiadh listed in the Archaeological Survey Database.

A causeway leads from the huts to the cooking place (fulacht fiadh) featuring a hearth, well and trough in which water was boiled by adding hot stones.

Just before the lodge is a mapped path, in fact a well-surfaced narrow track, that links Glen Affric and Gleann nam Fiadh.

The name Fedamore comes from Fiadh Damair or Feadaimir, the wood of Damar, a local Gaelic chieftain.

One route is to start from the end of Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin in Glen Affric, then follow a path up Gleann nam Fiadh.

Some researchers believe the fulachtaí fiadh were multi-purpose and could have, at least in some cases, been used for all of these activities - cooking, bathing, dyeing, or anything involving hot water.

Location of boulder burial, burial ground at Kileen Coolcoulaghta Church contains 1847 famine victims, cairn, coastal promontory fort, fulachta fiadh, ringfort, standing stone, a standing stone pair.

During excavations to build the Wicklow road bypass in 2010, a Bronze Age cooking pit (Fulach Fiadh) and hut site was uncovered in the Ballynerrn Lower area of the town.

They stand together above Gleann nam Fiadh (Glen of the Deer) and are linked by a high col of around 1045 metres, making the traverse of the two mountains a natural day's walk.

Once the use of a fulacht fiadh had ended it was common for people to continue to make use of the local landscape, therefore fulachtaí fiadh tend to be found in groups strung out along water courses.
