The National Monuments Service's description
At the top of a broad hill in pasture, with wide views all around. Within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This grass-covered fulacht fia comprises a kidney-shaped mound (14.5m NE-SW; 11.5m NW-SE) which is open to the NW and partly encloses a fairly level area (6m NE-SW; c. 3m NW-SE). The NE arm (3.5m NE-SW; 3.4m NW-SE; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m) extends farther than the SW arm (5m NE-SW; 1.6m NW-SE; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m) and a later drystone field wall runs over it. There is a cairn (CL009-059075-) c. 7m to the SW.
