Marked as a fulacht fia only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in pasture on the low-lying landscape of the Cappagh valley. It is not visible at ground level, but it may have been the mound investigated by Forsayeth (1911c, 142).
Forsayeth, G. W. (1911c) Notes and queries - 'Prehistoric cooking place' WAJ 14, 142-4.
