No mound, no hollow, no scatter of stone to catch the eye. The only reason it appears in the record at all is a personal communication from a J. Monk, who noted its location roughly ten metres south of a nearby stream.

The site is a fulacht fia, a type of ancient cooking or processing site found in enormous numbers across Ireland, typically dating from the Bronze Age. The usual remains take the form of a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt and fire-cracked stone, accumulated beside a trough that would have been filled with water and heated by dropping stones from a fire into it. At Kilphelan, however, even this characteristic mound has vanished, leaving the site entirely invisible to the casual observer. What makes the location quietly interesting is the clustering of two such sites in close proximity: a second fulacht fia lies approximately thirty metres to the north, suggesting that this particular stretch of ground beside its stream was repeatedly or continuously used by communities for whom this spot had some practical value, the water supply being the most obvious draw.
