It measures roughly 14.8 metres east to west and about 8 metres north to south, rising only 0.4 metres from the ground, making it easy to miss unless you are specifically looking. What distinguishes it is its composition: heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, the characteristic signature of a fulacht fia.

A fulacht fia is a type of ancient cooking site found throughout Ireland, typically consisting of a horseshoe or kidney-shaped mound of burnt and cracked stones beside a trough. The general principle is straightforward: stones were heated in a fire, then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to a boil, allowing meat or other food to be cooked. The discarded, fire-fractured stones accumulated over repeated use into the mounds we find today, often surviving as the most visible trace of Bronze Age activity in a landscape. The Teeveeny example follows this form closely, with its curved profile and a south-west-facing opening approximately 1.5 metres wide, which likely corresponds to where the trough or working area once sat. The northern and western edges of the mound have been clipped by drainage channels, suggesting the site has not entirely escaped the practical demands of managing the land around it, even as it endures beneath the forest canopy.
