In a flat area of marshy ground in between sloping hillocks to the N and S. There is a stream 2m to the N. One of two fulacht fia (KK005-074001-), which are almost conjoined. Both fulacht fia (dims. 2m x 1.5m; H 0.3m) are similar in shape and size and have a central depression (dims. 1.5m x 0.75m). The mound is composed of burnt stone and ash.
