The National Monuments Service's description
A small enclosure or a mound (diam. c. 10m) can be seen on aerial photographs (OS: 4/1086-7). It is situated in a low-lying position with a small canalized ESE-WNW stream c. 20m to the N. It may have been a fulacht fia but no feature can be seen now at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
