The National Monuments Service's description
Located off the S shore of Lough Melvin, c. 350m WNW of Gubanummera Point and c. 50m from the point of a small peninsula to the WSW. This is an overgrown, circular, steep-sided, stony island (diam. c. 25m; H 0.5-1m) with a possible rough-out for a quernstone on the shore at N, but otherwise there is no visible surface evidence of artificial construction.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
