It is on the county boundary with Meath (ME002-007----). This s a circular overgrown cairn (diam. 24m N-S; 22m E-W; H 1.5m over water level) that has evidence of a stone kerb and wooden piles on the perimeter N-E. Some artefacts, including four early medieval pins and a late medieval pewter flagon and plate, from the crannog are now in NMI (Lucas 1958 136-7; 1960, 33).
