Situated at the base of the W-facing slope of a low glacial knoll in undulating countryside with a nearby fulacht fia (TN036-050/024) 5m to the E. A ploughed-out fulacht fia revealed during topsoil stripping consisting of two intercutting troughs partly sealed by a ploughed-out spread (dims. 4.53m x 8m 0.18m D) of burnt sandstone, silt and charcoal. The first trough was a subcircular pit (diam. 1.25m D 0.25m) and contained three fills consisting of fire-cracked stone and charcoal. Two sheeps teeth were recovered from the upper fill. There was also evidence of a lining of burnt brushwood which had been impressed into the sides. The second trough (diam. 1.4m x 0.58m D ) was irregular in shape and was filled with dark greyish brown sandy clay silt with burnt sandstone. (Stevens 2000, 198).
