These are the remains of Bronze Age cooking places, typically consisting of a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone surrounding a trough, into which water was heated by dropping stones from a fire. Thousands of them survive across Ireland, often in low-lying, wet ground near water sources, and this one is no exception.

The site sits in pasture beside what was once a spring, though that water source has since been drained. What remains visible above ground is a grass-covered scatter of burnt material, the compacted residue of repeated episodes of heating and discarding stone. The association with the spring is typical; fulachtaí fia almost always appear close to reliable water, which was essential to the whole process. Whether the site dates to the early, middle, or late Bronze Age is not recorded, and like many examples across the country it has never been excavated, meaning the trough itself, if it survives, lies undisturbed beneath the surface. The draining of the adjacent spring at some point after the site was first recorded has altered the immediate environment, though the burnt mound itself appears to remain largely intact under its covering of grass.
