The National Monuments Service's description
Some 40m to the SE of another fulacht fiadh (GA095-165----) and revealed as a result of ploughing. An indistinct roughly oval area (12m by 9m) is defined along its S side by a low scarp (H 0.5m). It is similar in character to the other fulacht fiadh but with less stone in evidence. Some 5m to the SW is a small indistinct patch of dark soil with occasional stones. A third fulacht fiadh (GA095-167----) lies 35m to the SSW.
