Firefighters say a disposable barbecue set off a grass fire on Friday afternoon.
Crews were called out shortly before 12.30pm to the blaze in a field above the Gooseneck on the Mountain Road.
They used an off-road vehicle to put out the flames and discovered a small campfire and barbecue.
The Fire and Rescue Service says it's lucky a farmer spotted the fire before it developed further.
