On a dry meadow, at the stony N shore of the outflow of Lough Gara into the Boyle River. Two stone arm-like features, c. 8m apart, define the S portion of a slightly sunken oval area (23.5m N-S; 41m E-W). The E arm is an irregular to kidney-shaped island (20m N-S; 13.5m E-W; H 0.6m) with an uneven surface. In the gap between the 'arms' is an irregular concentration of stones (diam. c. 5m). The SE arm (31.8m E-W; 18m N-S) consists of stones well set into the ground and surrounded by soil that merges into the meadow to N. Two crannogs (SL045-008----; SL045-009----) are c. 200m to S and c. 250m to SE respectively. A moated site (SL045-007002-) lies c. 40m to N. (Fredengren 2002, KILA H1)
