The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat bogland. Excavation revealed a wooden trackway (L18m; Wth 3m) which terminated at a small platform at its E end. The trackway overlay the mound of a fulacht fia (TN036-050067). The trackway consisted of dense bundles of transversely laid roundwood and brushwood occasionally pegged down with a few centrally placed longitudinal runners for added stability. A hurdle was added to the S end of the trackway. (Ó Néill 1999, Killoran 314, 96-7)
