This is a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site found in great numbers across Ireland, typically consisting of a mound of fire-cracked stone accumulated beside a trough in which water was heated by dropping in fire-heated rocks. What makes this particular example worth pausing over is the detail that the mound actually overlies a portion of an earlier wall, meaning the people who used this site were themselves building on top of something older, layering activity upon activity in a place that clearly held some repeated significance.

The mound is substantial. It measures 11.4 metres north to south and 12.5 metres east to west, standing 1.65 metres at its highest point, and is open at the north-west where a subrectangular depression, roughly 5.5 metres by 2.8 metres, marks what would once have been the working trough. The composition is characteristic of the type: small, fire-shattered stone mixed with burnt soil and a notably high charcoal content, the accumulated debris of repeated heating episodes over what may have been generations of use. Several large upright stone slabs protrude through the surface of the surrounding bog, hinting at further structural complexity beneath. The site was recorded as part of an archaeological survey of South Kerry compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan and published by Cork University Press in 1996.
