What is recorded here

In reclaimed bogland, on an earlier shoreline of Lough Gara. Marked as a crannog site on Cross's unpublished map. The area is covered with grass and the possible crannog was not located. According to the landowner, wooden posts could be seen before the shore became covered with overgrowth. (Fredengren 2002, KILC 004) 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).
