In wet pasture, on the E of a stream which flows N along the W side of a flat-bottomed valley. One of several fulachtaí fia and burnt mounds which occur over a distance of 1.5km along the base of the valley. When first recorded (OPW 1994) this appeared as a largely sod-covered concentration (max. dim. c.5m N-S; max H 0.7m at W) of burnt stone and black soil accumulated against a low rise, abutted by a large boulder on the N side. The full extent of the mound was not determined. As a consequence of land reclamation works in 1995 it was largely obscured by deposits of soil. There is a burnt mound (SL019-244----) c. 8m to N, and a burnt mound (SL019-246----) is c. 8m to SSW.
