What is recorded here
Listed as a 'mound' in the SMR (1990) and the RMP (1997). Toal (1995, 145, no. 470) describes it as being enclosure-like consisting of 'a sub-rectangular raised area, 18m x 25m internally and 1.4m high'. Fieldwork, carried out in 2000, established that this is a fulacht fia and consists of a mound (20m E-W; 20.8m N-S) of black earth and shattered burnt stones.
