It measures roughly fifteen metres along one axis and just over eleven along the other, rising to about eighty centimetres at its highest. This is a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in considerable numbers across Ireland, typically consisting of a trough dug near a water source and a mound of fire-cracked stones that accumulated as water was heated by dropping in stones heated in a fire. The stones fracture with repeated heating and cooling, and over time the discarded fragments build up into exactly the kind of low, horseshoe-shaped mound visible here, about sixty metres east of a local stream.

The site was recorded by Bowman in 1934 and again by Broker in 1937, placing its documentation in the early decades of serious archaeological attention to such monuments in Ireland. What makes its situation at Meenagloghrane quietly interesting is that it does not stand alone. A second fulacht fia lies approximately a hundred and fifty metres to the north-east, suggesting that this stretch of ground near the stream saw repeated or sustained use in prehistory. Whether the two sites were contemporary with one another or represent different episodes of activity separated by generations is not something the surface evidence can answer, but their proximity to each other and to the same watercourse is a pattern familiar from fulacht fia elsewhere in the Irish landscape.
