Located in the NW sector of Lough Rea on what appears to be an earlier shoreline of the lake at a depth of approximately 1.3m. This possible fulacht fia, the most easterly example of two (see also GA105-228002-), was noted during a survey of the nearby crannog (GA105-197----) c. 120m to the SE. It consists of two conjoined shallow circular mounds, one larger (13m E-W and 9m N-S) than the other. Due to a heavy swell which stirred up sediment it was not possible to measure the smaller one. However, a central rectangular feature was noted within it. Its appearance suggests this is possibly a fulacht fia but it may be a hut site (information from K. McDonald).
