The National Monuments Service's description
Described as 'Crannoge Island' in italic lettering on the 1835 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated c. 20m from the W shore of Lough Macnean Upper (dims c. 4.5km NW-SE; c. 1.5km NE-SW) close to its N point and c. 50m S of where a small W-E stream enters the lake. This is an overgrown oval area (dims 8m x 6m; H 0.3m) with 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.
