At the bottom of a S-facing slope, and at the N edge of the basin of rectangular Ardakillin Lough (dims c. 500m E-W; c. 350m N-S) which is c. 100m to the S. The lake was much larger in the 19th century (dims c. 1.8km NE-SW; c. 350m NW-SE at NE to c. 600m NW-SE at SW), extending much further to the NE (1837 OS 6-inch map). Crescent-shaped grass-covered and flat-topped earth and stone mound (dims of base 19.4m NE-SW; 11m NW-SE; dims of top 7.2m NW-SE; 6.5m NE-SW; H 1-1.5m) which was probably circular but a large quarry (diam. c. 11m) had been dug at NW. Crannog (RO028-104----) is c. 210m to the S.
