The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on wet grassland that has been reclaimed and coverted into a car park with modern graveyard extension immediately to the S and SE of a church (OF022-012001-) and graveyard (OF022-012004-). The remains of a fulacht fia were levelled in the early 1990s by a machine driver when the graveyard (OF022-012002-) was being extended c. 1990 (SMR file 1997). The fulacht fia was located in the field 50m to the SE of the graveyard in the area where the present car park is located. A second fulacht fia (OF022-012007-) now covered over by landscaping works is located c.50m to the E.
