A low mound of burnt material, spread across pasture on the southern bank of a small stream, was levelled around 1967, leaving little more than a grass-covered scatter where something considerably older once sat. What the mound represented was a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking or processing site found in great numbers across Ireland, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stones accumulated over repeated use. The standard method involved heating stones in a fire and dropping them into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil, a technique that left behind precisely the kind of burnt, shattered debris visible here before the levelling.

Fulachtaí fia are most commonly dated to the Bronze Age, roughly 1500 to 500 BC, though some examples have produced dates ranging earlier or later. They almost always appear near water, which explains the position beside the stream at Church Hill. Local information recorded the levelling of the mound at around 1967, most likely the result of agricultural improvement or land clearance. Such losses were common during the mid-twentieth century, when the significance of these low, unremarkable mounds was not always appreciated and the pressure to improve farmland was considerable. What survives is the spread of burnt material beneath the grass, an echo of the original deposit rather than the feature itself.
