Quantities of Mesolithic and Neolithic flints etc. have been identified by Dr. Woodman and B. McNaught in the fields surrounding the one within which this monument is located. Fragmentary remains of a levelled monument. It is situated on a steep SSE-facing slope and was uncovered during groundworks at a development site. It is extremely disturbed and now comprises a tiny, roughly horseshoe-shaped area (dims. c. 1.6m NNW-SSE; c. 1.2m ENE-WSW) with the SSE side open, comprising a series of burnt stones within a matrix of burnt soil. No shells were identified. The visible remains range between 5cm and 15cm above the 'new' ground level. They lie between c. 0.2m and c. 0.45m beneath the pre-existing ground level. There is no evidence to suggest that what is now visible corresponds to the original plan of the monument. This, together with the size and locational profile fo the monument, render it extremely unlikely that this marks the remains of a fulacht fia or burnt mound. It is more likely to have been a hearth.
