The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located in rough, wet ground, 4.5m to SW of a fulacht fia (MA092-100----).
This small mound (3.5m NE–SW; 5.7m NW–SE; H 0.45m) is bisected centrally on a NE–SW axis by the field drain (Wth 1.3m), and is bordered at its SW edge by a field drain and field fence on a NW–SE axis. It appears to be composed of burnt stone and charcoal. A layer (L 8-10m) of burnt material is also visible in section in the adjacent field fence. These features may represent the remains of a burnt mound or fulacht fia that has been disturbed by later field boundaries, although it is possible that they are part of the larger mound (MA092-100----) that lies immediately to NE.
