No mound, no hollow, no scatter of burnt stone announces itself. The only reason anyone knows it was ever there is a notation on an Ordnance Survey map from 1937, where a cartographer recorded it as "fulacht fiadh (site of)", that qualifying phrase already conceding something had been lost even then.

A fulacht fia is a type of prehistoric cooking site found in enormous numbers across Ireland, typically identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stones accumulated over repeated use. The standard interpretation is that stones were heated in a fire and then dropped into a water-filled trough to bring the water to boiling point, cooking meat wrapped in straw or hide. They cluster near water sources and are generally dated to the Bronze Age, though many remained in use across a very long span. The Templemary example was already described as a "site of" rather than an active monument when the mid-twentieth-century surveyors passed through, which suggests whatever surface evidence once existed had already been dispersed, ploughed away, or simply absorbed back into the landscape. Whether the trough, any surviving burnt mound material, or subsurface deposits remain beneath the grazing field is a question the ground itself keeps to itself.
