Beneath a thick mat of overgrowth, the southern face of a small mound exposes blackened soil packed with burnt and fire-cracked stone, the characteristic signature of a fulacht fiadh. These features, found in their thousands across Ireland, are generally interpreted as Bronze Age cooking sites, where stones were heated in a fire and then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil. The mound itself is the accumulated debris of that process, heat-shattered stone discarded over many uses. This one sits on the northern bank of a spring-fed stream, exactly the kind of damp, water-adjacent ground where these sites tend to cluster.

The mound survives to a height of roughly 0.4 metres, with a length of at least six metres, though the overgrowth is dense enough that its original plan and full dimensions remain unclear. What makes the site particularly interesting is not the mound in isolation but its immediate neighbour: a second burnt mound lies just ten metres to the south, the two features sitting in close proximity within the same stretch of wet pasture. Whether they represent the same period of activity or different episodes of use is unknown, but paired or clustered burnt mounds are not uncommon in Ireland and suggest repeated or sustained use of a productive water source across time.
