What is recorded here
In wet marshy grassland. This fulacht fia is defined by a poorly preserved subcircular mound (10.7m NE-SW; 8.9m NW-SE; H 0.6-1.1m). The trough area is not clearly evident and this may be the result of disturbance caused by livestock which has resulted in areas of burnt stone and earth being exposed. (Cody 1989, 156-7, no. 11)
