The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. According to local information, a mound of burnt material was levelled some years ago. There are no visible remains of this mound. It is probably the fulacht fia measuring '20ft [6.1m] in diameter & 3 ft [0.91m] high' recorded in the 1940s in Timothy Cronin's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
