A fulacht fia is a prehistoric cooking site, typically consisting of a trough dug into the ground, a hearth for heating stones, and a mound of those same stones, cracked and blackened from repeated heating and quenching in water. This particular spread of burnt material runs to at least fourteen metres in length, though it has been partially worn down over time, its edges softened into the surrounding scrub.

What gives the site an added layer of interest is its probable relationship to two neighbouring fulachta fiadh in the same area, suggesting that this was not a solitary or incidental feature but part of a cluster of activity in this townland. The site was noted by Bowman in 1934, who recorded it among monuments on land then belonging to a Daniel Cremin, placing it in a tradition of local observation that predates modern systematic survey by several decades. The proximity to a well, roughly twenty metres to the south-west, is characteristic of these sites, which were almost invariably sited close to a reliable water source, since water was central to how they functioned.
