At the base of a steep N-facing slope in a NE-SW ravine, on limestone pavement covered in trees and grass. Within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This fulacht fia comprises a low kidney-shaped mound (11.5m E-W; c. 5m N-S; int. H 0.4-0.7m; ext. H 0.1-0.9m) of small burnt stones and larger unburnt stones (diam. c. 0.23m).
