Situated 20.3m to SSE of MA085-059---- and slightly downslope from it. The fulacht fia directly overlooks the northern end of peat basin behind (to NW of) Michael Gerry O’Malley’s house. It consists of a low horseshoe-shaped grassy mound (NW–SE c. 8.20m, NE–SW c. 6m, H0.3m max. on NW side), opening to SW towards marshy ground. The mound itself comprises two roughly ovate arms that appear to have a saddle- like feature between them at NE. However, this is somewhat obscured by a dilapidated field wall meandering on a NNW–SSE course, which runs across the eastern side of the mound. The SE arm is of very faint outline along the southern side and is overlain by the wall along the eastern side. The NW arm is better preserved but is partly covered by heather growth.
The above description is derived from: New Survey of Clare Island. Volume 5: Archaeology. Edited by Paul Gosling, Conleth Manning and John Waddell. (Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. 2007). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
