In the water, but merging with the W shore of Lough Gara. A low-cairn crannog (12m N-S; 12m E-W; H 0.81m above the lake-bed), the surface of which consists of firmly set stones. The edges of the crannog slope down distinctly to the S, but more gradually to the N. Two stone-built jetties lead from the NE corner out into the water. The northern jetty (L 7.7m; Wth 1.4m) consists of large stones (diam. c. 0.7m) on top of smaller ones. The other jetty (L 5m; Wth 1.2m) consists of small stones. Another crannog (SL044-092----) lies c. 20m to S. (Cross 1953, fig. 1; Fredengren 2002, KILC 025).
