What is recorded here
On the lakeshore, 450m S of the Augustinian abbey (GA069-001013-). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1934) but mentioned previously by Fahey (1904, 135). Not located: however, an old estate well has collapsed in the area and its rubble may obscure it. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 57)

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA069-003
