The National Monuments Service's description
'Situated 30m to the south of RMP KE030-012----, recorded as fulacht fiadh, is a smaller example of this site type. It consists of a small stone filled, grass-covered mound measuring 7m N-S and 6m E-W. No trough area is apparent and the mound is 0,50m in maximum height. The site has been affected by field clearance in the area.'
