What makes this particular example quietly interesting is the detail of how it was arranged: not simply a pit and a pile of burnt stone, but a considered layout that speaks to the practicalities of whoever used it.

The trough here was roughly two and a half metres long and relatively narrow, its sides partly reinforced by rocks that had been rammed into the earth. At the western end, stone flags formed a step that likely supported a hearth, a sheltered position screened further by a windbreak on the north-west side, presumably to keep the fire manageable against prevailing weather. That arrangement, though sensible, left only about thirty centimetres of depth in the trough at that end, which raises questions about how the two functions, heating and water-holding, were balanced in practice. The eastern end of the trough was less well defined, but there are signs of a sluice that would have drained water out into a gully, now badly eroded. On the north-east side sat a large circular well, around two metres across and one and a half metres deep, dug down far enough to reach the water table directly. A couple of additional pits completed the site. The thin spread of burnt material lying over the whole suggests the site saw use but perhaps not the sustained, repeated burning that leaves the dramatic black-and-orange mounds more commonly associated with fulachta fia elsewhere in the country.
