Around1939 when an ESB sluice was inserted into the Shannon at the point where it leaves Lough Allen at Bellantra Bridge, about 10 neat circular or oval mounds of stone (LE023-021----) came to light in Derrintober townland. There was also what may have been a stone-paved roadway (L c. 50m; Wth c.4m) running E from O’Reilly’s Island in Co. Roscommon towards this line at the S edge of Derrintober townland. Features that would normally be under water came to light again during abnormally low water levels in 1953 (Irish Times, 17-10-1053). No archaeological features were visible at normal water-levels during 1991. (Faughnan 1944, No. 147)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
