The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual E-slope in poorly drained grassland in upland region with moated site (TS049-043----) 30m to N. Large, roughly circular monument (dims. 18m N-S; 18.5m E-W; max. H above ext. 0.7m) with a depression in the N quadrant (dims. 1.3m N-S; 1.2m E-W; max. D 0.35m), probably indicating the presence of a trough. Although there is no 'opening' in the fulacht fia, the mound is less prominent in the N quadrant where the N edge of the depression is 6.5m from the base of the mound.
