The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the floor of the Glenfarne valley, with a S-N section of the Cornavannoge River c. 100m to the SE at a point where it turns E. It was identified in archaeological testing (11E0417) for a re-alignment of the N16 Manorhamilton to Enniskillen road when it became visible as an oblong feature (dims 4.28m x 1.28m; D 0.31 m) with evidence of burning at either end (MacLeod 2011, 4). It was subsequently excavated fully (12E0362) as Cornacloy 1 when it was found to be an oblong feature (dims 3.6m x 1.23m; D 0.28m) with four separate fills.
