The site is classified as a possible fulacht fia, a type of ancient cooking place typically consisting of a horseshoe or kidney-shaped mound of fire-cracked stones built up over centuries of use, usually beside a water source. The stones were heated in a fire and then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil. What makes this particular example quietly compelling is not what survives, but what was recorded before it disappeared.

When the site was described in 1999, it took the form of a kidney-shaped mound measuring roughly 18 metres east to west and 15 metres north to south, composed of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. At the time, the mound sat in a ploughed field just east of a country house called The Hermitage, a name that appears on the 1934 Ordnance Survey six-inch map of the area. On the southern side of the mound, a patch of yellow soil was noted, and this discolouration may have indicated the position of the original hearth where stones were heated before being transferred to the cooking trough. The word "possible" in the classification is worth pausing on; fulachta fia are identified largely through their characteristic mound shape and the presence of fire-cracked stone, but without excavation, certainty is rarely achievable.

Today there are no visible remains. The housing estate that now occupies the slope has effectively erased whatever surface evidence once existed. The site persists only in the archaeological record, a brief description of dimensions, soil colour, and probable function, capturing a moment in 1999 when something ancient was still just visible above the ground.
