Four mounds once stood here, composed of stone, until land reclamation work in the 1950s levelled them entirely. What remains are scatters of burnt stone across the ground, the kind of material signature that archaeologists associate with fulachta fiadh, the prehistoric cooking sites found in their thousands across Ireland.

A fulacht fia, in its simplest form, is a mound of heat-shattered stone accumulated beside a trough or pit, typically near water. The method was straightforward: stones were heated in a fire, then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring it to a boil, and used repeatedly until they cracked and became useless. Over time, the discarded stone built up into the characteristic horseshoe-shaped mounds that survive across Irish bogs and riverbanks. The presence of four such mounds at this single location on the Laune would have been notable, though the memory of them now rests almost entirely on the recollection of a landowner who remembered their composition. Whether they were genuinely fulachta fiadh or something else entirely cannot be confirmed; the burnt stone scattered across the field is suggestive rather than conclusive, and the mounds themselves are gone.
