The National Monuments Service's description

Located c. 40m from the SE shore of the rectangular Moneen Lough (dims c. 430m NE-SW; c. 95-115m NW-S) that has a large bay (dims c. 225m NE-SW; c. 100m NW-SE) on the opposite NW shore. An island is depicted on the 1835 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map, and on the current 1:5000 map where it is shown as a large feature (diam. c. 12-15m). It is also visible as a tree-covered feature on the aerial images, and it was first reported by Anne-Karoline Distel but has not yet been visited.
