The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888). It is situated immediately to the N of a NW-SE section of a small meandering river which forms part of the Glyde river system. Excavation revealed a spread of burnt material (c. 15m E-W x 5m N-S; max. D 0.5m) with a sub-rectangular trough underneath it (c. 3m x 1.2m; D 0.5m). The trough had a large timber plank at the base of it. The oak plank produced a calibrated C14 date of 1873-1134 BC. The remains of a burnt mound (MO031-139----) was found on the S side of the stream in Cloghvally Lower townland, jut to the W and another fulacht fia (MO031-134----) is c. 40m to the SW on the N side of the stream.
