The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in improved pasture between parallel drains running roughly N-S and draining into a small E-flowing stream c. 40m to the S. Reported as a possible fulacht fia, along with a second possible fulacht fia (MA060-063----) c. 20m to the NNE (SMR file). A very slightly raised grass-covered subcircular area (diams. 14m N-S; 12m E-W; H 0.1m at S and W to 0.3m H at N) appears to have some stone in its composition, but no burnt stone was visible when inspected.
