The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, at the SE edge of the Lingaun River. Monument identified by Will Forbes (no date). There are no visible remains of the fulacht fia. According to local information a large portion of the river bank eroded by flooding c. 2-3 years ago. There are no deposits visible in the truncated section of the river bank, therefore it is likely that the monument was removed by flooding. A fulacht fia (TS072-016002-) lies c. 150m to the NE.
