Standing 60m E of the SW shoreline of Lough Ennell, overlooked by the royal ringfort Dún na Sgiath (WM025-145----) 420m to WSW and crannóg (WM025-164---) 8m to S. Listed as Dysart 4 and described by O'Sullivan (2004, 90) as 'a low, small circular platform (19m N-S x 30m E-W; H 0.5m), located at the original water’s edge (surrounded by 1m water prior to drainage) and separated from shoreline by wet, marshy ground. It appears as a low, rocky platform, with a level upper surface, an even profile and a gradual slope to the edges. On its upper surface, angular and rounded boulders and medium sized stones are visible in the grass. The edges of the platform are quite distinct, particularly on the east side. This site is a possible prehistoric or medieval rock platform, potentially associated with the early medieval royal settlement complex'.
