Somewhere along the western bank of a small stream on the boundary between Ballyviniter Middle and Ballyviniter Lower, there is said to lie a fulacht fia, one of the horseshoe-shaped mounds of burnt and cracked stone that appear in their thousands across the Irish countryside. These sites are generally understood to be Bronze Age cooking places, where stones were heated in a fire and dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil. They are among the most common prehistoric monument types in Ireland, and yet this particular example has left no visible trace on the surface.

The site is known only through local information rather than any direct observation, which places it in a category of monument that exists more as memory or tradition than as landscape feature. Its position straddling a townland boundary is itself a small curiosity. Townland boundaries in Ireland are ancient administrative divisions, and prehistoric sites not uncommonly sit at or near them, though whether by coincidence or because boundaries were drawn in relation to earlier landmarks is a question that rarely has a clean answer. The stream on whose western bank the fulacht fia supposedly lies would have been precisely the kind of water source these sites required, lending the account at least a plausible geography.
