A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking site, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stones left behind after repeated episodes of boiling water by dropping heated rocks into a trough. They are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland, yet this particular example has become effectively invisible, not through neglect or destruction in the conventional sense, but simply because the forestry planted around it has made access impossible. The monument endures, in all likelihood, beneath the canopy; it is just that no one can easily get to it.
