Roughly three metres across in each direction, it is marked by a spread of burnt material, the kind of discolouration and debris that catches the eye of anyone who knows what to look for, and passes entirely unnoticed by everyone else.

What lies here was not always so flat. Local information records that a mound of burnt material once occupied this spot before it was levelled and spread across the immediate area during land reclamation work. That act of clearance is significant, because the original mound almost certainly belonged to a class of monument known in Ireland as a fulacht fiadh, or burnt mound, one of the most common yet least understood prehistoric site types in the country. These are typically the remnants of ancient cooking or industrial activity, formed by the repeated heating of stones in fire and their subsequent dumping after use, which leaves a characteristic deposit of cracked, blackened stone and charcoal. They appear in their thousands across the Irish landscape, most often in low-lying or marshy ground near water, though the Tooreencahill example sits on elevated pasture with a clear outlook over the Sliabh Luachra uplands of east Kerry. The levelling of the original mound means the material is now dispersed rather than accumulated, making its former shape and scale difficult to assess, but the burnt spread itself survives as a legible trace of whatever took place here.
