Situated on the W shoreline of a promontory jutting out into the S end of Ballaghkeeran Bay in Killinure Lough at SE end of Lough Ree. The Breensford River lies c. 50m to S, with possible promontory fort (WM022-041----) immediately to E. Monument described in 1981 as the remains of a possible jetty located on a scarp, which was revealed by a drop in the level of water on the lake. It is composed of four horizontal oak planks jutting out into the lough, bearing sapwood, black in colour and of obvious antiquity. The planks are embedded in a grey-red marl, which is obvious shoreline silt, and lie in a layer (T 0.1m) of charcoal and mixed habitation material.
