In pasture, located at NW end of an elongated natural rise. There is a field drain on a N-S axis 2m to W and another drain on a NW-SE axis 6m to E. Appears as a low, roughly circular rise (c.10m N-S; c.13m E-W; H 0.4m), with a layer of stone in black soil exposed on the E side, just below the sod. The W side of the mound however is cloaked in a thick layer of peaty soil. A fulacht fia (MA040-106----) is located c. 20m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020
