In the shallow waters of Cloonacleigha Lough, c. 70m from the N shore. An oval high-cairn crannog (25.8m N-S; 21m E-W; H c. 2m), the surface of which consists of stone packing which rises evenly over the water. The stones are loosely set and consist of rounded limestone and sandstone. Sand and gravel are evident among the more angular stones of the berm (Wth 3m). The edge drops fairly sharply into the water and down towards the lake-bed. On the S edge of the crannog is a stone jetty (4m N-S; 2m E-W) consisting of large boulders on top of smaller stones. Two crannogs (SL032-198----; SL032-226----) are c. 400m and c. 300m to SW respectively.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
