In rough, damp pasture, at the base of a W-facing slope on the SW side of Dernish Island, 8m WNW of a spring well/Holy well (SL002-019----). The shoreline is 10m to W, bordered by a vertical scarp (H 2m) which drops from the land to a stony shore. This fulacht fia is evident as a very low, poorly defined sod-covered mound (6m N−S; 4m E−W; H 0.2-0.3m at E, 0.4m at W) of angular stone fragments in dark grey/black soil. It appears to have a shallow crecentic shape, curving around a slight hollow (Wth c. 1-1.5m) on the E side. Its compact, firm surface distinguishes it from the surrounded soft, damp ground.
