The National Monuments Service's description
Connected to the NW edge of the oval Ardmeenan Lough (dims c. 500m NE-SW; c. 200m NW-SE) by a silt isthmus. This is an overgrown, circular, stony area (diam. c. 15m; H 0.5m) surrounded by less solid ground (diam. 30m) which is covered with reeds. There is no visible surface evidence of any artificial features.
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.
