What is recorded here
Situated in the shallows on the NE shoreline of Rahans Lough (L c. 1km N-S; c. 80-160m E-W), which has a bulbous (dims c. 330-c. 400m) northern end. This is a small cairn (diam. 5m; H 0.2m over water) but the cairn extends below the water level (D 0.5-1m) c. 10m to the W and S. This is probably the small crannog described by Boylan (1967, 362-3) in 1954 as having timbers when a dug-out canoe was discovered in the lake. There were no structural timbers visible in 1983, but animal bones were present.
