What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in marshy pastureland. This fairly well-preserved fulacht fia is defined by a horseshoe-shaped mound (14.9m E-W; 14.2m N-S; H 0.9m) of grassed-over stone and black soil, with an irregular central depression which opens towards the N. Shallow linear depressions are visible to the E and W of the trough area. This monument is the westernmost example of a group of three/possibly four fulachta fia: see also GA108-067001-, GA108-067002- and GA108-067003-.
