There is nothing to see at ground level, and the field itself has been reclaimed for grazing, erasing whatever surface trace may once have been visible. Yet the site is recorded, and its position, tucked just below the crest of the ridge on its south-eastern slope, fits neatly with what archaeologists have come to expect from this type of monument.

A fulacht fia is a Bronze Age cooking place, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone and charcoal built up beside a trough, usually timber-lined, that was dug close to a water source. Water was heated by dropping stones from a fire into the trough, and the discarded, shattered stones accumulated into the mound over repeated use. The waterlogged, low-lying ground beside a stream is exactly the setting these sites favour, which makes the marshy terrace at Moyne a characteristic location. Prendergast, writing in 1977, identified this as one of two fulacht fia sitting adjacent to each other in the same area, a pairing that is not unusual, since the sites are sometimes found in clusters, though the reason for this is not fully understood.
