This one is notable for what no longer exists. At An Ghairfeanaigh in County Kerry, a fulacht fia, one of the low mounds of fire-cracked stones associated with Bronze Age cooking or industrial activity, once sat in low-lying, marshy ground of exactly the kind these sites typically favour. The wetland setting is characteristic: fulachtaí fia were generally positioned near water sources, and the burnt stones that define them are thought to be the remains of repeated heating and plunging into water-filled troughs over many generations of use. At An Ghairfeanaigh, however, deep-ploughing and drainage works removed the grass-covered mound entirely, and no visible trace of it survives.

The site was recorded by J. Cuppage as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, published in 1986. That survey documented the archaeology of one of the most densely layered prehistoric landscapes in Ireland, and this particular entry, number 245 in the catalogue, captures a moment of loss rather than discovery. By the time the record was compiled, the land had already been altered, the mound cleared away in the course of agricultural improvement. What the survey preserved, in effect, was the memory of something already gone.
