No mound, no hollow, no surface trace; whatever lies below has been swallowed entirely by the reclaimed grassland above it. A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking site, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt and shattered stone left behind after repeated cycles of heating rocks and dropping them into a water-filled trough to bring it to a boil. They are among the most common archaeological monument types in Ireland, yet this one offers nothing to the eye.

What makes the site more interesting is the company it keeps. Prendergast, writing in 1955, recorded three fulachta fia clustered in this immediate area, with two further examples lying roughly 40 metres to the east and 25 metres to the south-east respectively. That kind of proximity is not unusual for fulachta fia, which often appear in groups near reliable water sources, and here a small stream still runs along the southern boundary of the field. The presence of that stream is telling; access to water was fundamental to how these sites functioned, and the natural drainage of ground sloping toward two river valleys would have made this a practical location across whatever period or periods it was in use.
