This is attached to the N shore of Headford Lough, a sub-rectangular lake (dims c. 330m E-W; 230m N-S), which as larger (dims c. 400m E-W; c. 260-400m N-S) as represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map when the crannog was more centrally placed within the lake. This is a grass- and scrub-covered mound of stones (diam. 15m N-S; 15m E-W; H c. 0.7m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction, or of occupation. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December, 2019
