The National Monuments Service's description
On the S bank of a small stream in low-lying pastureland and c. 20m to the W of a dual carriageway. This fulacht fia is defined by a low kidney-shaped grass-covered mound (7.5m E-W; 4m N-S; H 0.5m) with a water-logged central area opening on to the stream to the N. Burnt stone is evident in the partially denuded W side. Another fulacht fia (GA095-169----) lies c. 150m to the WSW.
