Measuring roughly ten metres east to west and just thirty centimetres high, it sits quietly in the grass, its origins confirmed not by excavation but by the landowner's knowledge of what lies beneath: stone that was repeatedly heated and cracked by fire, then discarded, over what may have been centuries of use.

The mound is a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in enormous numbers across Ireland. The typical method involved heating stones in a fire and dropping them into a water-filled trough to bring it to the boil, a process that gradually destroyed the stones and produced the characteristic horseshoe-shaped mounds of shattered, fire-reddened rock that survive today. What makes this particular example quietly notable is its position: it lies approximately 120 metres to the south-east of a second fulacht fia, suggesting that this stretch of ground saw repeated or prolonged activity. Whether the two sites were used simultaneously or represent separate episodes of occupation across a long span of time is impossible to say without excavation, but the proximity is not accidental.
