What is recorded here

Half a metre of grass hides a horseshoe of burnt stone and chert, opened northward in the marshy soil south of the stream. Two cooking pits and a ringfort cluster within twenty metres, suggesting a busy domestic settlement rather than a lonely marker. People may have heated water for food or baths here, leaving behind only a low ridge that farm fields have nearly swallowed.

In low-lying marshy farmland to S of a stream. A poorly preserved horseshoe-shaped and grass-covered mound (NW-SE 9m, NE-SW 6.5m, H 0.6m) showing traces of burnt stone and chert. It opens towards N. Another fulacht fiadh (GA087-175003-) lies immediately to SE and there is a ringfort (GA087-175001-) c. 20m to ESE.
