The National Monuments Service's description
Some 50m to the NE of another fulacht fia (GA108-67001-). This fulach fia is defined by a low roughly circular horseshoe-shaped mound (14.4m NW-SE; 12.2m E-W; H 0.7m) which opens towards the W. Grey ash and heat-fractured stones are visible at SW. Another possible fulacht fia (GA108-067003-) lies c. 20m to the N.
