The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A grass-covered oval spread (13m N-S; 11m E-W) of burnt material with a crescent-shaped mound (6m E-W; 3.5m N-S; H 1m) at the N end. According to local information, the mound consists of burnt material which was removed from the remainder of the site during land drainage in the early 1990s. An E-W drain, with a field boundary on its N side, lies immediately to the N. According to local information, natural springs occur frequently in the area. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE058-128----) c. 90m to the SW.
