An area measuring 30m by 20m was initially stripped by machine to remove the topsoil and was subsequently cleaned by hand to reveal the full extent of the fulacht spread. The spread covered an area of c. 5m north–south by 14m. It was removed onto the natural boulder clay, revealing two small pits. A possible trough lay immediately north-east of the fulacht spread. This feature had dimensions of 1.5m north–south by 1.75m and had an average depth of 0.34m.
