The National Monuments Service's description
In rough neglected damp pasture, located on the NE bank of a stream. An old farm trackway, which crosses the stream, is located immediately to W.
Low, grass-covered mound (c. 7m WNW–ESE; c. 4.7m NNE-SSW; H 0.4m), roughly kidney-shaped in plan, composed of angular heat-shattered stones and charcoal fragments in black peaty soil. There is adepression, possibly indicating the position of a trough, on the W side of the mound, facing the stream. Largely obscured by long grass and brambles.
Three other fulacht fia (MA062-133003-; MA062-133004-; MA072-107001-) are located along the same stream valley, c. 15m to NNW, c. 0.45m to NW and c. 0.40m to SSE, respectively.
