The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the SW edge of the subrectangular George's Lough (dims. c. 350m N-S; c. 160-280m E-W), c. 50m from the S and W shores. It is not depicted on the 1835 or 1944 editions of the OS 6-inch map but it is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: H 131-0). An overgrown circular mound of earth and stone (diam. 10m; H 1m) is surrounded W-N by upright and recumbent timber stakes (L c. 0.5m; diam. c. 0.15m). Two quernstone rough-outs and a quernstone fragment were found at the monument.
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.
