Description
Straddling E-W orientated S-facing break of slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (105m N-S; 97m E-W) enclosed by an earthen scarped edge (ext. H 1.4-2.6m) with a possible external fosse (Wth c. 4m). The possible fosse encloses the site SW-NW where a modern field boundary bank is located concentric with, and at a constant of 4m distance from, the external base of the scarped edge. The original entrance is not recognisable. The N half of the interior is level and the S half slopes gently facing S, reflecting the underlying natural slope.

A circular annex is located on the SW consisting of a roughly crescent-shaped raised area (N-S 16m; E-W 12m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext.

- SL005-192 Fulacht fia
Description
In pasture, adjacent to a field boundary on the middle of the S side of the field. Located on the NW edge of a shallow, natural depression of wet ground. An E–W property boundary immediately to S appears to follow the line of a stream/drain. This fulacht fia is evident as a low, compact roughly circular mound (diam. 8m; H 0.5m), with a gently domed profile. It is composed of a dense concentration of angular sandstone fragments in a dark soil. There is a slight depression on the S side, facing the wet ground, which probably marks the location of the trough.
