Located at the centre of Curraun Lough, a small oval lake (max. dims c. 250m NW-SE; c. 100m NE-SW) that is represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map as being larger (max. dims c. 325m NW-SE; c. 150m NE-SW). This feature is represented as an island on the OS 6-inch maps and appears to be an overgrown flat-topped island (diam. c. 20m) but it is inaccessible through silting and reed growth. Nevertheless, it is very likely to be a crannog, and crannog (LE033-001----) is c. 30m to the NW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
