In a water-meadow, below an earlier shoreline of Lough Gara and E of another crannog (SL047-056----). Though marked as a large crannog by Cross (1953, fig. 1), the present remains are that of an oval to irregularly shaped grass-covered platform (6.8m N-S, 3.6m E-W; max H. 0.2m above the meadow) consisting of shattered stones on peat and marl. This is the easternmost of a group of four crannogs (SL047-055----; SL047-056----; SL047-056001-) in the same bay. (Fredengren 2002, KILA 050).
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).
