In a peaty wet meadow, below an earlier shoreline of Lough Gara. Marked as a crannog site on Cross's unpublished map. A grass-covered mound (4.6m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.3m above the meadow), with distinct edges, possibly consisting of fire-cracked stones. A possible causeway (L 7m E-W; Wth 1.4m N-S) extends from the NW edge of the mound towards a small spit of land out in the bay. (Fredengren 2002, KILC 008)
