Or at least, local knowledge says so. When archaeologists went looking in 2000, the undergrowth had swallowed any trace of it entirely, and they left without confirmation. The site remains officially unverified, existing in that uneasy category of things that are believed to be there, noted on the basis of local memory, but not yet seen by anyone in a position to record them properly.

A fulacht fia is a type of Bronze Age cooking place found in considerable numbers across Ireland, typically recognisable as a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone beside a trough or water source. They are thought to date broadly from around 1500 to 500 BC, though the type persisted across a long span of prehistory. The Peafield example, if it is there, is not alone in the immediate area: a second possible fulacht fia was noted approximately eighty metres to the west, suggesting that whatever activity drew people to this particular patch of ground was repeated, or continued over time. Dense conifer planting has a way of compressing and obscuring earthworks that were already low-lying and subtle, and it is entirely plausible that both features survive beneath the forest floor, simply waiting for conditions to change.
