The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. There are no visible remains of this fulacht fia. A report dating to 1980 describes a conical mound (diam. 12m; H 1.2m) situated on the downhill side of, and c. 4m away from, a well in marshy land (SMR file). The report also noted that burnt material was exposed in the edge of a field boundary, a few metres W of the well (ibid.). This is probably one of two fulachtaí fia (see KE060-076----) recorded in the 1940s in William Daly's land and which measured '50ft [15.24m] in diameter and 10 feet [3.05m] high' with a hollow in the centre, measuring '9 feet [2.74m] x 3 [feet] [0.91m]' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
