Within a dried-up lake that is represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular lake (dims c. 250m E-W; c. 200m N-S), but the lake is likely to have been much bigger originally (dims c. 800m E-W; c. 300m N-S). Local information suggested that there might have been a crannog towards the N edge of the lake where a clump of trees grew. No evidence to confirm this is visible at ground level. It remains undisturbed within a coniferous forest. The habitation site (LE033-064----) is c. 80m to the SE.
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.
