What was once a low mound has since been levelled, leaving only a patch of blackened earth and heat-shattered stones to mark the spot. This is a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric outdoor cooking place found in great numbers across Ireland, typically consisting of a trough filled with water that was heated by dropping fire-warmed stones into it. When the stones cracked and became unusable, they were piled to one side, forming the characteristic horseshoe-shaped mound. Most date to the Bronze Age, though some examples span a wider range.

When surveyed in 1985, the spread of scorched material here measured roughly 9.2 metres north to south and 8.6 metres east to west, a modest but legible footprint of repeated use. The landowner at the time recalled that the original mound had stood about 0.3 metres high and measured 6 metres by 4 metres before it was levelled. What gives the site an added layer of interest is its company: another fulacht fia sits in the same field, approximately 85 metres to the northeast. The clustering of two such sites within a single field is not unheard of, but it does suggest this stretch of ground was a place people returned to, and that the activity carried out here was worth repeating close to where it had been done before.
