In improved, level pasture, in flood plain of the Camoge River. Low, oval mound (21m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE) defined by remains of levelled bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.2m) NNE-NE and scarp (Wth 3.5m; H 0.35m) NE-NNE. Interior uneven on surface with shallow circular depression (c. diam. 5m; Dth 0.15m) at SW. Well and pump house to ENE and wide land-drain to S. This monument was excavated by Ó Riordain (1946-7) in 1946; he found 'an artificial island made by laying down a stone layer over a foundation of peat, brushwood and timbers ... the foundation layer being about eleven meters and the stone layer eight meters in diameter ... a fragment of Beaker pottery found in a hearth shows the date of the crannóg cannot be later than Early Bronze Age times' (Ó Riordain 1965, 51).
