The National Monuments Service's description
Located within a bay (dims c. 200m NE-SW; c. 180m NE-SW) at the SE edge of Lough Machugh, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 650-850m N-S; c. 300m E-W at N to c. 500m E-W at S). This is an overgrown, circular, stony island (diam. 30.5m N-S; 27m E-W; max. H 1.5m) sometimes connected to the shore by a silt causeway and surrounded by intermittently visible timber piles and some planks lying in the water parallel to the edge. The cairn at the centre (diam. c. 15m) has a boulder edge W-N-E.
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.
