The slight swelling in the turf is easy to miss, which is part of what makes it worth knowing about.

A fulacht fia, sometimes spelled fulacht fiadh, is a type of ancient cooking site found in enormous numbers across Ireland, typically Bronze Age in origin. The usual arrangement involved a trough dug into the ground near a water source, which would be filled with water and then heated by dropping fire-cracked stones into it. The broken, heat-shattered stones accumulate over time into a horseshoe-shaped mound, and it is this mound that survives in the landscape long after everything else has gone. At Creagh Beg, the site sits east of a stream bank in the western corner of a field, and fulacht fiadh material was previously uncovered here. The ground is now under grass, and only that low rise remains to suggest what lies beneath.
