Situated in Knockaturly Lough, an oval lake that is now (dims c. 420m WNW-ESE; c. 130m NNE-SSW) smaller than c. 1834 (dims c. 500m WNW-ESE; c. 180m NNE-SSW). The crannog is depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS -6-inch map as a small island, and is c. 35m from the S shore towards the E end. This is a circular overgrown cairn (diam. 18m; H 0.7m of the water) with deep water on the E sides where some piles can be seen. The matrix consists of stones and charcoal with animal bones.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
