At the base of a S-facing slope, in rough pasture with boggy ground to immediately to W, and within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-030001-). Listed as ‘Fulachta fiadh’ in the RMP (1996), following initial identification by Tom Coffey (SMR file). This grass-covered subcircular cairn (8.8m N-S; 8.2m E-W; H 0.6-0.9m) is built on a slight rise or shelf of rock outcrop (H c. 0.8m) which curves around the edge of the cairn at SE-NW, 1.6-3m away from its base. This shelf has rough edges and may have been deliberately modified to achieve this curvature and margin around the cairn. The top of the cairn has been excavated, resulting in a trench (Wth c. 1m; D 0.3-0.5m) which curves from E to S around an upright stone slab (H 0.6m; L 0.55m; T 0.05-0.1m). The stone is oriented NW-SE and has a rounded profile. Spoil from the excavation trench was dumped on the cairn.
