In wet pasture, on the E bank of a small bend in stream which flows N along the W side of 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. Poorly-defined, low rise (c. 13m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE; H 0.4m at SW) of firm ground covered with mossy vegetation. Angular stone fragments in black soil was exposed at the SW edge but the full extent of the mound was not determined.
