The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing. A low oval mound (14.5m E-W; 10.5m N-S; H c. 0.4m) of heat-shattered stones in a matrix of dark charcoal-rich soil cut W-NW by a drain. Burnt material is visible in section in both sides of the drain. A field boundary on the opposite side of the drain rises slightly in the vicinity of the fulacht fia suggesting that further mound material lies underneath it. A burnt spread and a fulacht fia (SL043-006001-; SL043-006002-) lie c. 100m to NW and another fulacht fia (SL043-005----) lies c. 200m to NW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
