The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 60m from the NE shore of the subrectangular Annaghearly Lough (dims c. 570m NE-SW; c. 330-400m NW-SE). This is an overgrown oval island (dims 38m NW-SE; 29m NE-SW; H 1.5-2m) surrounded at E by a collapsed timber revetment (L 11m) at the water's edge. Much of the surface could be drainage spoil consisting of large boulders.
See the attached view taken from the N.
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.
