The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture flanking the S bank of the Mannin River. When inspected in 1998, patchy traces of shattered stone and charcoal-rich soil were visible intermittently through the thin sod cover, possible the remains of a fulacht fia levelled during land reclamation. It was not possible to determine the limits of the mound.
A fulacht fia (MA093-043001-) is located c. 100m to ESE. There is no trace of a third possible fulacht fis (MA093-043005-) located some meters to NW.
