Situated in 'Loughanacrannoge' a shallow basin of wet marshy ground which holds a pool of water in the winter months. The crannog comprises a small circular raised area (diam. 12m; H 1.2m) which is densely overgrown with long grass and scrub. Wood-Martin (1886, 246) recorded that 'a trench cut through the island showed that it was composed of clay mingled with some few stones, and these, around the exterior edge, were arranged in a systematic manner'. At the S of the crannog a depression (Wth. 0.8m), partially infilled with stones, is visible. This may be the remnants of the cutting referred to by Wood-Martin. (OS Letters 1836, 322 (135)).
