Situated in level wet pasture. Roughly oval, sod-covered, flat-topped mound (c. 19m N-S; 15.8m E-W; H 0.8-1m) composed of heat-shattered stone in charcoal-rich soil. An E-W orientated field drain cuts the base of the mound at N. A square concrete manhole cover (0.8m by 0.8m) is set into the top of the mound, slightly E of centre. A second fulacht fia (SL008-189---) lies c. 225m to the WSW.
