The National Monuments Service's description

In partly reclaimed pasture, on the W margin of a strip of wet ground. Low, roughly circular, sod-covered mound (diam. c. 12m; H 0.4m) of stone fragments in a matrix of black, charcoal-rich soil. A slight depression on the E side may indicate the position of the trough. Another fulacht fia (MA039-125----) is located c. 65m to S, and there is an enclosure (MA039-085----) 40m to SW.
