This is one of six crannogs (see also GA105-198----, GA105-198002-, GA105-198003-, GA105-199---- and GA105-224----) located in the NE end of Lough Rea; this one is c. 80m from the shoreline to the NE. It consists of a small roughly pear-shaped island (c. 17.5m NE-SW; c. 8.6m NW-SE) that is artificially built on a pile of stones. The interior is grass covered and several mature trees are growing around its perimeter. Current OSi aerial imagery shows a wide natural causeway (max. Wth 43m) leading towards it from the shoreline to the NW.
