Some burnt material is exposed at W and in the tip of the NW arm which is eroded and separated from the main mound. The opening (3.6m NE-SW; 2.8m NW-SE) faces a wet area to the SW. Another fulacht fia (KE109-034002-) and a possible fulacht fia (KE109-034004-) lie c. 35m to the SE and c. 150m to the S, respectively.
