This one in Tullig, on a south-facing slope above the valley of the Cummeenboy stream, offers nothing of the sort. The fulacht fia here is gone, levelled before the field was reclaimed and reseeded for pasture, and what remains is essentially a location, a place where something once was.

A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking or industrial site, typically consisting of a trough dug into the ground and a surrounding mound of burnt and shattered stone. The stones were heated in a fire and then dropped into water in the trough to bring it to a boil, and over time the cracked, fire-damaged stone accumulated into a distinctive horseshoe-shaped mound. These sites are found in their thousands across Ireland, usually in low-lying or waterside locations, and the south Kerry landscape has its share of them. At Tullig, local information recorded that a large mound of burnt material sat in this field until it was cleared, presumably during agricultural improvement works. The act of levelling it was not unusual for its time; such mounds were often seen as obstructions rather than antiquities, and many were removed before their significance was widely understood.

There is nothing to see at the site today, and that is, in its own way, the point. The field sits in pasture, the slope looks out over the Cummeenboy valley, and the only evidence that anything prehistoric once occupied the ground is a note in the record and the memory, passed on locally, of a mound that used to be there.
