The National Monuments Service's description
In ploughed field, c. 40m N of stream. One of six fulachtaí fia (OF042-004001-/006-) exposed in the ploughsoil of this large field. The field is bounded on the W by a stream running N-S and on the S by a second stream running E-W. A third old stream now dried up meanders across the field from NW to SE. The fulachtaí fia were located either side of this dried up stream or water channel. Recent ploughing of this field revealed a spread (8.5m N-S; 6.5m E-W) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. Second fulacht fia (OF042-004005-) located c.40m to the W.
