The National Monuments Service's description
In partly overgrown stony pasture. Listed as ‘Fulachta fiadh’ in the RMP (1996) on the basis of a map annotation by Tom Coffey; ‘several fulachta fia here, largely destroyed’ (SMR file). An inspection in 1999 identified only this fulacht fia which comprised a small overgrown mound (diam. c. 5m; H 0.8m) of burnt stone and ash, on which loose stones were piled. A modern field wall overlay the E and S edge of the mound, with briars growing beyond the wall.
