The National Monuments Service's description
Fulacht fia described in 1985 by the 'Castleisland District Archaeological Survey' as a 'roughly horse-shoe shaped mound (dims. 15.1m SSW-NNE x 7m SSE-NNW) of black burnt earth and shattered red stone. A spring used to rise in the field on the west and flowed into a drain along the field fence immediately to the west of the mound' (SMR File).
