The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated and named ‘Landing stage’ on the 1920 OS 6-inch map and listed in the RMP (1996) as 'Potential site - name'. Described by Macalister (1916-17, 139) as a boat-pier of large undressed blocks of stone, rectangular in plan (L 49ft (14.9m); H towards the lake edge 3ft3in (0.99m)). A possible penitential station (CL029-009018-) was apparently on the inner end of this landing stage. This area as indicated on the OS map is completely overgrown and inaccessible.
