The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying damp rush-covered rough grazing at the N-foot of a gentle pasture slope. Reported as a possible fulacht fia (SMR file). A moss and grass-covered stony area (dims. 12m E-W; 4m N-S) lies immediately S of an E-W field drain and may be the remains of a levelled fulacht fia.
