The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW corner of a pasture field, with a gently fall of ground immediately to W-SW. This fulacht fia is evident as a low, grass-covered kidney-shaped mound (13m N–S; 10m E–W; H 0.3m). It is composed of a dense concentration of angular stones in black soil. A shallow indentation (Wth 4m) on the SW side faces a natural depression of damp ground, and is the likely location of the trough.
Notified to NMS by Leo Leyden.
