One is roughly oval, composed mainly of stone with some clay mixed through, measuring just over eleven metres east to west and a little over nine metres north to south. A slight depression towards its centre hints at where a trough may once have been cut. A smaller crescent-shaped mound lies about two metres to the west, running to around seven metres in length. This pairing is a recognisable signature of a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in great numbers across Ireland, where water was heated by dropping fire-cracked stones into a trough, and the discarded burnt stone gradually accumulated into the characteristic horseshoe or crescent mound that survives today.

The difficulty here is that the evidence is not clean. A fulacht fia is typically identified above all else by its burnt and shattered stone, heat-fractured through repeated contact with fire and cold water. At this site, the majority of the stones that could be examined did not appear to have been in contact with fire at all, though some burnt stones are present. That ambiguity is enough to place the site in the category of probable rather than certain, and the shape and setting do the heavier work of the identification. The site was recorded as part of J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, published under the title Corca Dhuibhne, a landmark survey of a peninsula extraordinarily dense with prehistoric and early medieval remains.
