Not marked on any OS ed. Situated in Grilly Lough, c. 80m from the shoreline. A few large stones protruding above the water-level of the lake presumably represent a crannóg cairn. Known locally as a crannóg.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
