It sits, as far as anyone can tell, more or less as it always has, identified only as a mound on an Ordnance Survey map from 1938 and in a brief researcher's note from four years earlier. No excavation appears to have taken place. No one with a trowel has been in to look.

A fulacht fia is a type of ancient cooking place found in enormous numbers across Ireland, typically Bronze Age in date, though some are earlier or later. They usually consist of a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone beside a trough, where water was heated by dropping in stones that had been made red-hot in a fire. The mound is the accumulated debris of that repeated process, stones that shattered or lost their heat-retaining capacity and were discarded. Thousands of these sites survive across the country, often in low-lying or boggy ground. The one near Knocknagree was noted by Bowman in 1934 as lying on land belonging to a D. Breen, and that detail, a name, a farm, a year, is essentially the full extent of what is documented. Access to the site was not obtained when researchers later came to assess it, so its current condition remains unverified.
