The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the N edge of the subrectangular Bolganard Lough (dims c. 550m N-S; c. 180-250m E-W), which was c. 0.5m lower than normal in 1991. This is an overgrown oval island (dims 17m E-W; 14.5m N-S; H 0.6-1m) surrounded at S and W by collapsed timber piles set 2m apart. The piles are intermittently visible elsewhere on the perimeter and within the mound material.
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.
