The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in bushes on a N-S spit of gravel at the W end of Gardice Lough, and c. 50m S of where the Ballinamore-Ballyconnel canal enters the lake. It is indicated as a small feature on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 8.5m) is defined by a spread of stones (Wth c. 1.5m) but it does not have an entrance and it might not be artificial.
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.
