On intertidal zone of River Shannon estuary, c. 60m to N of flood relief embankment. Enclosure (LI004-032007-) is c. 32m to WNW. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Listed as ‘Carrigadirty Rock 20 and 21' by O’ Sullivan (2001, 309) who described the site as following; 'Large, tangentially cleft oak plank, oriented N—S, 3.4m long, 46—54cm wide, in peats on mid-foreshore. Edges of plank irregular, with notches and protrusions. Large, cleft oak plank, oriented E—W, 5.6m long, 76cm wide, 5.5cm thick. Set in fen peats, 2m S of the edge of the intertidal peat shelf. Tangentially cleft from a massive, knotty oak trunk. The plank was worked to a blunt oblique point at its W end, cut directly across at its E end. Side edges quite thin and 'feather-edged', owing to splitting of trunk.'
