In rough pasture, on a level platform on a W-facing slope surrounded by mountains near the waterfall at the head of Coomgira valley. A circular area (diam. 10m) is defined by intermittent traces of a low earthen bank (Wth 0.8m; H 0.25m). A N-S stone wall truncates the E half and rushes grow in the interior. There is a fulacht fia (CO116-036----) c. 45m to the NW.
