What is recorded here
In flat pastureland, immediately to the N of a stream running NE-SW. This fulacht fia is defined by a well-preserved horseshoe-shaped mound (19m N-S; 15.5m E-W; H 1.3m) with a central depression opening to the N. The stream has been artificially widened, causing disturbance to the mound's exterior at S. Both here and at NE black earth and burnt limestone are visible. Some slippage has occurred at E and W. (Cody 1989, 160-61, no. 19)
