The National Monuments Service's description
On the shore of Inishloe Island in the Fergus Estuary. Described by O’Sullivan et al. (2010) as follows: ’10 stakes scattered in an area about 30m squared in the mudflats. They lie on thee western side on Inishloe, across from Canon abbey on Canon Island. There are two pairs of stakes and the others occur individually. The stakes may be the remains of basic net traps.’ (O’Sullivan et al. 2010, Appendix 1, 58, Inishloe Island 12)
