No mound, no hollow, no visible trace of any kind remains at the surface. The site is known only because local information recorded a spread of burnt material here, the characteristic signature of this particular type of prehistoric monument.

A fulacht fia is essentially an ancient outdoor cooking or processing site, typically Bronze Age in date, consisting of a trough, often timber-lined or stone-lined, into which water was poured and then heated by dropping fire-cracked stones into it. Those stones, once shattered by thermal shock and useless for reheating, were discarded into a mound nearby. It is these accumulations of burnt and broken stone, often dark and mixed with charcoal-stained soil, that survive in the ground long after the wooden components have rotted away. At Hoddersfield, even that mound appears to have been dispersed, most likely through centuries of ploughing on the sloping arable ground. What remains is, at most, a scatter of that burnt material somewhere beneath the soil, its exact character and extent unverified by excavation.
