The term, loosely translated as "cooking place of the deer" or "burnt mound", refers to a characteristic mound of fire-cracked stone that accumulates beside a water trough where heated stones were repeatedly plunged to boil water. Thousands of these sites are known across the island, yet each excavation tends to reveal its own particular details, and the one uncovered here proved quietly unusual.

The site sat in a small stream valley, with the watercourse running roughly southeast to northwest some ten metres to the northeast. Excavation in August 2017 revealed a rectangular trough, measuring 2.16 metres by 1.36 metres and just over half a metre deep, with rounded corners. What made it notable was the care visible in its construction. The base had been lined first with a layer of moss, and on top of that, five pieces of oak were laid to form a timber lining roughly 1.62 metres by 0.6 metres. This wooden trough, sealed over time by successive layers of clay, gravel, and silty sand, had been used and then abandoned, with no broken or burnt stone found within it, which is itself an anomaly since the accumulation of heat-shattered stone inside such troughs is common. The burnt mound material that does survive at the site appears in three distinct layers stratigraphically later than the trough itself, suggesting the area was returned to and reused across separate episodes of activity. A small pit cut into the final spread of mound material adds one more unexplained detail to the sequence. No artefacts were recovered from any part of the site, so dating and precise cultural context remain open questions.
