The National Monuments Service's description
Fulacht fia described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (i)) as; 'An irregular, but vaguely kidney-shaped, grass-grown mound of burnt and fire-shattered stones measuring 12.4m NW-SE x 1.75m in maximum height. The depression at its WSW side appears to have been revetted with stones, some of which stand upright and some of which have now collapsed'.
