In improved pasture at the W foot of a moderately steep slope. In 1972, this monument, together with a second fulacht fia (KD029-029----) c. 65m to the WNW, was described as being ‘recently destroyed’ with a wide area of adjoining land cleared of ditches and re-fenced (SMR file). No visible surface trace survives.
