What is recorded here

In a wet area at the base of a rocky SW-facing slope. This well-preserved fulacht fia is defined by a crescent-shaped mound (18.1m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) that opens to the NW (Wth 6m). The trough area (7m NW-SE; 3.5m NE-SW) has a flat poorly drained base. The mound is truncated by a NW-SE running trackway to the SW and it blends into the base of the natural slope to the NE. Indications of a second fulacht fia (GA027-045001-) abut the rear of it to the SE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 15 August 2023
