The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Recorded by MacMahon (1991, 48). This fulacht fia is defined by a circular mound (diam. at base 12.2m; H 0.4-0.7m) with a flat and slightly concave top (diam. 7m). Heat-shattered stone is visible. A drain, filled with hard core, lies to its SW. MacMahon (ibid.) also recorded a second fulacht fia (see CL016-150----) in this townland.
