The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland, immediately to the S of woodland. This fulacht fia is defined by a roughly circular mound (9.5m E-W; 9m N-S; H 0.15-0.5m) which is best preserved from NE to SE; it is straightened slightly at W and N. An uneven depression (6.5m N-S; 4.25m E-W; Dth 0.2m) within the centre may indicate the trough area. An oval depression (6m ENE-WSW; 5m NNW-SSE; Dth 0.4m) adjoining the SSE edge is potentially a secondary trough. There is a small pond along the boundary of the field to the E. Two other fulachta fia (GA101-076---- and GA101-078----) lie c. 190m to the SW and c. 245m to the SE respectively.
