The National Monuments Service's description

In the floor of a broad E-W valley, in rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This fulacht fia is traceable as a low U-shaped mound (10.6m NE-SW; 6.5m NW-SE; H 0.3m), open to the SE. The SW (4.5m NW-SE; 3.6m NE-SW) and NE (6.5m NW-SE; 4.5m NE-SW) arms are connected by a narrow ridge (Wth 3m), partly enclosing a small area (c. 2.5m NE-SW; c. 1.5m NW-SE).
