In Ballindoon Bay, in Lough Arrow and between two other crannogs (SL034-215----; SL034-219001-). Wood-Martin (1886, 246-56), refers to a crannog 'close to the shore of Ballindoon demesne' comprising of 'a large pile of stones, evidently deposited by human agency'. A large reed stand (c. 60m N-S; 20m E-W) growing on a stony shoal in the lake-bed is located at a depth of between 0.9-1.1m below the water. The shoal, which has no distinct edges, consists of small stones with some larger boulders (diam. 1-2m) which occur naturally in many places in Lough Arrow. It is not clear whether this is a natural or man-made feature. A possible jetty or causeway leads out from the N end of an adjacent crannog (SL034-219001-) towards this possible crannog.
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).
