What is recorded here

Against a S-facing bedrock outcrop cliff, on elevated ground in rough pasture and bushes, with a spring well 15m to the W. Marked on Robinson’s (1977) map. This fulacht fia comprises a semi-circular mound (15m E-W; 13m N-S; max. H 1.2-1.4m) with some stone facing on its SE slope. At the E part of the mound is an apparently later subcircular cairn (2.8m E-W; 2.2m N-S) of unburnt stones, with several upright stones (max. H 0.48m) on its E side. Extending N from this cairn is a wall (Wth 0.6-0.8m) which also appears to be relatively modern in date. There are burnt stones around the nearby spring to the W.
