A damaged fulacht fia comprising an irregular mound of burnt stone and ash (c. 7m NW-SE; c. 6m NE-SW; H at SW c. 1.2m) truncated to the S and W by a modern farm trackway. Noted by Tom Coffey (SMR file). Spoil from the construction of the trackway partially conceals the monument. A second fulacht fia (CL005-160037-) is located c. 57m to the SE.
