The National Monuments Service's description

In lush pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope, within meander loop of stream to W. Levelled fulacht fia identified during excavations on the Cork-Dublin gas pipeline (Sleeman and Verling 1987, 7). No visible surface trace. No distinct element of stone detected on prodding ground. According to local information, some remnants of the fulacht fia mound are within the small area of ash trees due S of the current GPS and map location.
