In a wet meadow on the shores of Lough Gara, on a dry ridge parallel to the earlier shoreline, NW of another crannog (SL044-071----). When submerged in winter the ridge is marked by a line of trees in the water. A low circular grass-covered platform (9.5m N-S; 9.2m E-W; H 0.45m above the meadow), the surface of which is stable and even. Some stone packing is evident along the NE edge. This is one of a group of four crannogs (SL044-069----; SL044-071----; SL044-072----). (Cross 1953, fig. 1; Fredengren 2002, KILF 003)
