In a partially wooded area in open, improved pasture, at the confluence of a small NE-flowing stream with the NW-flowing River Blackwater. Described by O'Neill (1973-4, 250) as a crannog (dims. L c. 100m N-S; Wth c. 80m E-W) composed of hazel brush, stone and worked timbers, divided by the river and stream, both of which were drained in 1973, when the dredged material was deposited on portion of the site (dims. L c. 60m; Wth c. 15m; H c. 2m). This spoil contained human and animal bones, a perforated antler tine, iron slag and some timbers, all of which were collected and deposited in the National Museum of Ireland. The main drainage embankment is along the E side of the Blackwater and the river flows through a deep, narrow, V-shaped cut with nothing archaeological visible along the banks. A possible trackway (KD004-014001-) approaches the site from the W.
