The conditional phrasing is deliberate: this is a site that was glimpsed once, logged, and then effectively lost.

A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking site, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt and shattered stone left over from repeated heating and water-boiling. They are found in their thousands across Ireland, usually in low-lying or waterlogged ground, and most date to the Bronze Age. The one at Meeneeshal entered the record in 2001, noted during tree planting operations by John Roche, who described it as small and tentatively identified. When archaeologists returned to the area in 2005 to verify its location, they could not find it. Whether it had been disturbed by the planting work itself, obscured by new growth, or simply proved too slight to relocate is not known. It remains on record as a possible site, the kind of entry that archaeological inventories quietly accumulate: a moment of observation that could not be repeated.
