The word is sometimes rendered fulacht fiadh, and the features typically consist of a trough, often timber-lined, set into the ground beside a water source, accompanied by a mound of shattered, fire-cracked stone. The stones were heated in a fire and dropped into the water-filled trough to bring it to a boil. This site is unremarkable to the eye now, a low scatter in a working field, but the burnt stone in the drainage channel is the residue of that repeated process.

What makes the location quietly interesting is not the single site but the cluster. Within roughly sixty metres to the south-east lies a second fulacht fia, and two more are recorded further in the same direction. Four such sites in close proximity suggests this stretch of ground was returned to repeatedly, possibly over a long period during the Bronze Age, when fulachtaí fia were at their most common across Ireland. Whether they reflect seasonal gatherings, sustained settlement nearby, or some other pattern of use is difficult to say from the surface evidence alone, but the concentration is notable in a landscape where single isolated examples are themselves already a frequent find.
