In a broad shallow depression in gently undulating pastureland to the N of Dunbulcaun Bay. A stream, now channeled, flows c. 120m to the W. This fulacht fiadh, along with two others (GA095-166---- and GA095-167----), was revealed while ploughing in 1984. It consists of a roughly circular area of dark soil (11.6m E-W;10.5m N-S; H 0.4m) composed of two areas of small fire-fractured stones, flanking a roughly central area of fine dark-grey stone-free clay. Some 10m to the S is another small area of dark-grey fine clay (E-W 2m). Possibly a hearth but no charcoal is discernible.
