The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SSW-facing slope, to the W of a stream. A D-shaped spread (straight E side: 10m N-S; 5.4m E-W) of burnt material noticeable at the time of inspection because of its cover of short grass and buttercups. A possible fulacht fia (KE066-056----) is c. 85m to the SE and a souterrain (KE066-055----) is c. 100m to the SSW.
