A fulacht fia is, broadly speaking, a burnt mound, the accumulated debris of repeated episodes of cooking or heating water by dropping fire-heated stones into a trough. The stones crack and shatter with use and are discarded into a characteristic crescent-shaped heap around the pit. At this particular site, the mound measured about eight metres wide and stood no more than half a metre at its highest point, with a central depression roughly three metres across opening to the south-west. Where cattle had broken the grass cover, burnt stone and ash were visible just below the surface.

What makes this field quietly layered is the presence of a spring well that, according to local memory, supplied the surrounding area with its water until roughly fifty years ago. The same reliable source of water that made the site useful to a Bronze Age community apparently continued serving the locality into living memory. The proximity of a second possible fulacht fia about 160 metres to the north-north-west suggests this was not a casual or isolated use of the landscape; such groupings are not unusual, since the conditions that suited one site, a steady water source, a sheltered slope, would naturally attract repeated activity over time. The information about the site's condition was passed on by a Mr L. Morahan.

By January 2019, the mound had been largely levelled as a result of development works, leaving very little of the original form visible above ground. What had been a modest but legible earthwork, with its depression and scorched stones intact beneath a thin grass cover, is now effectively gone from the surface record.
