The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on relatively level terrain. According to the landowner, this fulacht fia originally consisted of a mound (H 0.3m) but it was partially levelled in 1984. A low roughly circular mound (H 0.15m; 5.7m N-S; 6.8m E-W) consisting of black earth and heat shattered stones was visible when surveyed in 1985. Another fulacht fia (KE022-008----) is in the same field c. 85m to SW.
