Located in deep water towards the SW end of Clooncorick Lough, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 550m NE-SW; c. 140-250m NW-SE), which is slightly smaller than its representation on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown, circular, steep-sided, earth and stone island (diam. 17.5m; H 1.5m) surrounded by many interlocking timber beams, both upright and prone. The island has been disturbed in places by fishermen's piers, and it is connected to the shore by a modern wooden bridge. A log boat was observed in the water at this crannog when the water level was extremely low (Kane 1885-6, 408). A programme of radiocarbon dating undertaken by the Discovery Programme produced a date of 610 +- 20 BP (AD 1298-1400) from wood taken from the crannog (O’Conor and Fredengren 2019, 91). and Fredengren, C. 2019 Medieval settlement in Leitrim, c. 1169-c. 1380. in In Kelly, L. and Scott, B. Leitrim: History and Society, 79-101. Dublin, Geography Publications
