This one is notable for what does not. In the garden of a house near Parkavonear, roughly eighty metres south-east of the medieval Round Castle, there was once a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in great numbers across Ireland. These monuments typically survive as horseshoe-shaped mounds of fire-cracked stone, the debris left by a repeated process of heating stones in a fire and dropping them into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil. Thousands of them dot the Irish countryside, usually dated to the Bronze Age, and their sheer abundance makes each individual example easy to underestimate. This particular one, however, has left no visible trace at all.

Local information suggests the site was destroyed during the construction of a house. It is a quietly commonplace fate for a monument of this kind. Fulachtaí fia were rarely recognised for what they were until relatively recently, and a low, unremarkable mound in a field or garden offered little obvious reason to protect it. The site sits close to the Round Castle at Parkavonear, itself a structure of some antiquity, which gives some sense of how layered this small patch of Kerry ground once was. What stood or accumulated here across different periods has, in this case, been reduced to a map reference and a note.
