It measures roughly three metres across and half a metre high, and beneath the grass it consists of burnt stone and charcoal-rich soil. That much is clear. What it actually represents is less so.

The mound may be the damaged remnants of a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking or industrial site characterised by a mound of fire-cracked stones accumulated beside a water trough, typically dating to the Bronze Age. The method involved heating stones in a fire and dropping them into a water-filled pit or trough to bring the water to boiling point. Alternatively, this particular mound may be displaced material, dumped here during later land reclamation works rather than left in its original position. That ambiguity is not unusual for small, damaged sites of this kind, where the physical evidence is too slight to settle the question. What makes the location more interesting is its immediate neighbourhood. Two confirmed fulachtai fia lie just fifteen and twenty-two metres to the south-east, suggesting that whatever this mound represents, it sits within a wider cluster of prehistoric activity along this stretch of the Deel. A rath, an enclosed circular earthwork associated with early medieval settlement and farming, lies approximately thirty metres to the south on rising ground, adding another layer to a landscape that has clearly seen sustained use across different periods.
