The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the north-western face of the modern stream cutting (Pollbrandy on Ordnance Survey maps) c. 12.5m NE of MA085-005010-. Once again, no trace of original stream course survives. Situated on a relatively flat patch of ground. All that is visible of the fulacht fia is a layer of burnt stone, ash and charcoal in the north-western section face of the deep V-shaped drainage cut- ting. As exposed in the cutting face, it measures L 6.6m (NE–SW) and T 0.5m max. No visible surface trace of the monument survives on either bank of the cutting.
