What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope on the S side of a broad shallow valley. This fulacht fia is defined by an oblong grassy mound (c. 11m NW-SE; 6.5m NE-SW; H 0.8m) that is cut across, on an ENE-WSW axis, by a shallow grass-covered trench, creating the effect of two discrete but contiguous mounds. However, the mound appears to have been kidney-shaped originally, opening towards the NE. There are three other fulachta fia in this valley (GA103-036----, GA103-037001- and GA103-037002-).
