The National Monuments Service's description
In wet pasture, in a marshy field with natural springs. The landowner noted a large spread of burnt material during reclamation in the early 1980s. Some burnt material is visible in the E face of a drain to the W. A field boundary which bordered the fulacht fia to the S was replaced by a deep drain which is covered with overgrowth. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
