Described by O'Sullivan (2004, 114-5) as following; 'Located on the southwest shore of a small lake (Newtown Lough) on the modern Meath/Westmeath border. The site is located on the end of a small promontory of marshy land extending out into the water. The crannóg is a low, circular mound (dims. 19m N-S x 29m E-W; H 1-2m) of small stones situated at the water’s edge on the sandy shore of Newtown Lough. It has a level, grassy upper surface and is scarped on the shoreline side, over 1-2m, on north, east and west sides. There are no wooden posts visible, but there appears to be a slight kerb of stones along the north side'.
