The National Monuments Service's description
In wet marginal grazing c. 60m W of Levallinree Lough. Reported as a possible fulacht fia (SMR file). A horseshoe-shaped earthen mound (dims. 15m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.2-0.9m) partly encircles a natural spring at N which feeds a streamlet which flows N. While its horseshoe shape is characteristic of a fulacht fia, no stone was obviously evident in the composition of the mound. A thorn bush and briars grow on its S edge. A second possible fulacht fiadh (MA070-021001-) lies 50m to N.
