The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy pastureland. According to Ó Riordáin (1966-7, 71), this possible crannog was located c. 70m to the E of another crannog (CL016-084001-). It consisted of a raised mound (diam. 24.5m; H c. 2m) that was overgrown with briars and other vegetation. On inspection in May 1999 it was not located and no visible surface trace of it is visible on any available aerial imagery.
