Located c. 60m from the NW shore of Drumshanbo Lough, a shallow, tear-shaped lake (dims c. 850m N-S; c. 550m E-W) which is potentially much larger (dims c. 1.25km m N-S; c. 650m E-W) with extensive marshes to the N and S (OSAP). This crannog is not depicted on any OS map. It is an overgrown oval island (dims 18m E-W; 11m N-S; H 0.3m) with evidence of a collapsed palisade (L 12m) at S.
