It measures roughly eleven metres north to south, six metres east to west, and rises less than a metre from the ground. To a passing eye it might read as nothing more than a field hump, the kind of gentle rise that livestock graze around without a second thought. In fact it is a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in large numbers across Ireland, and the burnt material that makes up its bulk is the physical residue of repeated, organised heating.

Fulachtaí fia, the plural form, are among the most common archaeological monument types on the island. They typically consist of a trough, often timber-lined or stone-lined, into which water was poured, and a nearby hearth where stones were heated until red-hot. The stones were then dropped into the water to bring it to a boil, a method suited to cooking large joints of meat. Once cracked and spent, the stones were discarded to the side, and over generations of use these discarded heaps of shattered, fire-reddened material built up into the characteristic horseshoe-shaped or irregular mounds that survive today. The proximity of this example to the Monaheancree Stream would have made it well suited to such a purpose, providing a reliable water source close at hand.

The site at Labbamolaga sits in open pasture on the eastern bank of the stream, and while the mound is still legible as an earthwork, it is partially overgrown, as many such monuments are once they pass out of active field management.
