The National Monuments Service's description

On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland, overlooking a turlough to the SE. This low roughly circular grassed-over mound of burnt stone (diam. 4m; H 0.4m) is cut across from NW to SE by a livestock trackway. A field wall overlies it at N. There is a fulacht fia (GA096-138----) c. 55m to the SE. (Cody 1989, 161, no. 20)
