What is recorded here

On a slight rise at the NW edge of a low-lying marshy field of rushes. Identified by Tom Coffey in 1994 (SMR file). This irregular fulacht fia (12m N-S; 11m E-W) comprises an arc of bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) from NE to SE. Its W extent (SW-NW) is merged into higher ground. The central area (5.5m E-W; 4m N-S) may have opened to N or S. Several loose stones at the NW may have been displaced from a trough and there is a large stone at the SW. Another fulacht fia (CL010-142----) lies c. 125m to the NE.
