This one offers nothing of the sort. At Caherkeegane in Mid Cork, a fulacht fia once sat in marshy ground on the southern side of a stream, and now there is no visible surface trace of it at all. That absence is itself the story.

A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking site, found in great numbers across Ireland, typically consisting of a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone beside a water source and a trough, usually timber-lined, sunk into the ground. Stones would be heated in a fire and dropped into the water-filled trough to bring it to a boil, and the shattered, heat-spent stones would be thrown aside, gradually building up the characteristic mound. The marshy, low-lying ground beside a stream at Caherkeegane would have been exactly the kind of setting these sites favoured, where water was close to the surface and easily collected. At some point, however, land reclamation work levelled the mound entirely. What had survived for perhaps three thousand years or more was removed within living memory, leaving only the record of what had been there and the local knowledge that confirmed it was gone.
