In pasture, below the old shoreline of Lough Gara, on the N shore of Ross townland. A low irregular cairn (9.4m N-S; 9.9m E-W; H 0.82m above the surrounding meadow), the surface of which is uneven with angular stones (diam. 0.2-0.3m) protruding through the low grass. In the centre is a semicircle of stones (int. diam. 1.45m; Wth 2.2m E-W). A small area of densely packed stones is located at S. The edges of the crannog are distinct in material, but quite irregular in form. To the S the crannog blends into the surrounding meadow. (Cross 1953, fig. 1; Fredengren 2002, KILA 039)
