The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the S end of a narrow N-S bay (dims c. 450m N-S; c. 50-100m E-W) at the SE angle of Garadice Lough. A small oval island (dims c. 20m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) is depicted only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This area is silted up on the revised 1944 edition of the map and it is now an inaccessible clump of trees attached to the mainland by a reed-swamp.
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.
