Located c. 40m from the NW shore of the central part (dims c. 750m NE-SW; c. 200m NW-SE at NE to c. 500m NW-SE at SW) of Gulladoo Lough (L c. 3km NE-SW). This is an overgrown, circular and stony area (diam. 18m N-S; 17.5m E-W; H 1.5m) surrounded by timber planks and stakes (max. L 1.5m; diam. 0.3m) concentrated in a C-shaped area defined by a low stone wall in the water SE-SW, possibly an attempt to enlarge the crannog. A programme of radiocarbon dating undertaken by the Discovery Programme produced two dates of 520 +- 20 BP (AD 1398-1439) and 485 +- 25 (1411-1447) from wood taken from the crannog (O’Conor and Fredengren 2019, 91).
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.
