In a small bay on the W shore of Lough Arrow. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a small circular islet (diam. c. 15m) surrounded by reeds. A high-cairn crannog (33.5m N-S; 29.6m E-W; H 2m above the sand and gravel lake-bed), most of which is submerged c. 0.35m below the water. The surface consists of an irregular spread of flat angular stones (diam. 0.5-0.7m), resting loosely on smaller angular stones (diam. c. 0.2m). The edge slopes distinctly and is surrounded by low rushes and a sally bush. Two possible crannogs (SL040-116----; SL040-117----) lie c. 650m and 750m to SSE, 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).
