Located c. 50m from the S shore of Cloonboniagh Lough, an oval lake (dims c. 530m NNW-SSE; c. 300m ENE-WSW), although the lake is represented as larger (dims c. 730m NNW-SSE; c. 350m ENE-WSW) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is about the size of its representation on estate maps of 1750 (Wogan 1750, 13, 14) where the crannog is also depicted. This is an overgrown circular island (diam. 31.5m N-S; 30m E-W) with a prominent stony centre (diam. 6.3-6.5m; total H 2m). Lying in the water around the perimeter NW-N are several timber stakes c. 0.5m apart. A stone pier was built into the water at 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.
