This site is situated one field SSW of another fulacht fiadh (KE010-077----). According to the landowner, while a drain was being dug through the rath (KE010-074----), the trough of a fulacht fiadh was discovered along with some burnt stones and charcoal. No surface trace of this site can be seen today. Originally it lay in the centre of the fort.
