The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in Lough Oughter. Small grass-covered platform of loose stones (diam. c. 15m; H c. 1.2m) connected to the shoreline by a long, narrow causeway of small and medium-sized stones (L c. 23m). The level of the lake was lowered considerably during the middle decades of this century. Hitherto the site was barely identifiable (local information).
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.
