Situated c. 10m from the old shoreline of Dillagh Lough. The crannóg was revealed following drainage of the lake in 1982. It comprises an almost circular platform (diam. c. 20m) composed of brushwood and horizontal beams held in position by vertical piles or stakes. Finds included two barrel-staves, a wooden weaving spindle, leather, and pottery of the 13th-15th century.
