Situated in wet, marshy pasture at the base of an E-W ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. This fulacht fia comprises a low, subcircular mound (diam. c. 7m; H 0.4m). Sandstone fragments and black soil are exposed on the NW side, which has been eroded by farm stock. There is another burnt mound (SL018-091003-) c. 15m to WSW, a fulacht fia (SL018-091002-) c. 35m to SW, and another fulacht fia (SL018-091----) c. 80m to SW.
