In a small marshy inlet, on the E shores of Lough Gara. Discovered in 1991 during monitoring of drainage works at the foreshore (Wren 1991) and described as a spread (12m E-W) of tightly packed, undressed, limestone stones and pink sandstone boulders exposed for the full width of the drain trench (2.8m N-S). The stones (diam. 0.1-0.4m) did not appear to have been laid in any particular pattern and small pieces of decayed wood and immature hazelnut shells were found scattered through the sandy silt on which the stones sat (ibid.). There are now no visible remains of this possible crannog.
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).
