To a passing eye it might read as nothing more than a slight rise in a boggy field, but the burnt material underfoot and the stones embedded in the depression give it away as a fulacht fia, one of the most common yet least-understood monument types in the Irish landscape. These sites, which date broadly to the Bronze Age, are thought to have functioned as outdoor cooking places, where stones were heated in a fire, then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring the water to a boil. The mounds of cracked, heat-shattered stone that accumulate beside the trough are what survive today, often for thousands of years, because burnt stone drains poorly and resists disturbance.

The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the archaeological record in August 2011. What survives here is a roughly D-shaped mound of burnt material measuring approximately 5.3 metres east to west and 4.5 metres north to south, rising to about 0.6 metres in height, positioned immediately south of an oval waterlogged depression roughly 3.4 metres by 2.6 metres across and 0.4 metres deep. At the centre of that hollow, some stones are still embedded in the ground, possibly the remnants of a stone-lined trough, the vessel into which heated stones would have been plunged. A smaller mound of burnt material, about 5 metres east to west and 2 metres north to south, lies on the north side of the same depression, suggesting repeated use of the site over time, or perhaps the gradual accumulation of material from more than one phase of activity.

The site sits in marshy ground, which is entirely typical of fulachtaí fia; proximity to water was essential to how they worked, and low-lying wet ground has also helped preserve them where ploughing or development might otherwise have removed the evidence. There is no formal access or signage, and the terrain is likely to be soft underfoot, particularly in wetter months. Anyone visiting should expect to read the landscape carefully rather than encounter an obvious monument. The mounds are subtle, and the depression modest in scale, but the concentration of features, the probable trough stones, the paired accumulations of burnt material, makes this a reasonably well-preserved example of a site type that, despite appearing across Ireland in the thousands, still prompts genuine debate among archaeologists about the full range of purposes it may once have served.
