What is recorded here

On low lying ground at the S edge of a small pond (c. 20m NNE-SSW) in an area liable to flooding from, Skaghard Lough to the NE. Indicated on Robinson's map of the Burren(1977). This fulacht fia comprises a mound which is probably U-shaped and is open to the E. However, only the mound’s N ‘arm’ (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m) and S ‘arm’ (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) can clearly be seen; its W part is overgrown with bushes. The central area (c. 2.5m E-W; 1.4m N-S) is also obscured by vegetation. There is another fulacht fia (CL010-080----) c. 110m to the SSW. See attached image: CL010-081----_01.JPG Monument viewed from E.
