There is no visible surface trace of it now, yet old Ordnance Survey mapping from 1938 recorded a semicircular mound sitting beside a well, and that cartographic ghost is about all that remains to mark the spot.

A fulacht fia is a type of ancient cooking place found in great numbers across Ireland, typically consisting of a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt and shattered stone beside a trough and a water source. The accepted method involved heating stones in a fire and dropping them into a water-filled trough to bring the water to a boil, leaving behind the cracked, fire-damaged stone that forms the characteristic mound. The Garraun example sat along the line of a trackway, which fits a pattern seen elsewhere: these sites tend to cluster near water and routes of movement. A second fulacht fia lies approximately forty metres to the west, suggesting this particular corner of Mid Cork saw repeated or sustained use over time. Beyond what the 1938 map captured, the site has left no impression on the present landscape.
