The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the bottom of a S-facing slope, on the edge of an overgrown level marshy area with views SW to the Paps of Dana. In the 1940s a fulacht fia was recorded in James Lucy's land in a field called 'Mach' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). The location of a mound of burnt material was pointed out by the present landowner but there are no visible remains of it.
