In wet pasture, located on the W side of stream, which flows N along the W side of a in a flat-bottomed valley. One of several fulachtaí fia and burnt mounds which occur over a distance of 1.5km along the base of the valley. A small heap (c. 3.6m E-W; 2.7m N-S; H 0.5m) of burnt stone and charcoal fragments including some large sandstone slabs. It has an uneven, disturbed appearance and may be displaced material rather than the remains of an 'in situ' mound. There is a fulacht fia (SL019-238----) c. 25m to E, and a burnt mound (SL019-213----) is c. 20m to NNE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 May 2011
