The National Monuments Service's description
At the N edge of the old course of the Dooyertha River. This possible fulacht fia is described by Cody (1989, 160, no. 18) as a roughly circular spread of black soil and burnt stones (diam. c. 4m). It appeared as if a mound or small rise had been removed a short time previously.
