In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope surrounded by mountains near the waterfall at the head of Coomgira valley. A circular area (9.4m E-W; 9m N-S) is defined by traces of a low bank (Wth 1m; H 0.05-0.2m) with several sheep gaps and with some stones on top along its SW-N arc. The level interior, partially covered with rushes, is cut into the bank at N (D 0.5m) and raised (H 0.6m) at S to compensate for the hillslope. There are traces of a stone facing along the S arc. There is an enclosure (CO116-035001-) c. 40m to the SW and a fulacht fia (CO116-036----) c. 50m to the W.
