In a wet meadow, below an earlier shoreline of Lough Gara. A barely perceptible rise (8.3m N-S; 8.2m E-W) covered with dense green grass. Other than a few stones that are visible at the perimeter of the site, there is very little surface evidence of this crannog. It is one of a group of eight possible crannogs (see SL047-012002-; SL047-012003-; SL047-012004-; SL047-012006-; SL047-012007-; SL047-012008-; SL047-012009-) and one crannog (SL047-012001-) in the small bay between Derrymore Island and Derrybeg townland. (Cross 1953, fig. 1; Fredengren 2002, KILA 027)
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).
