The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the mouth of the NE-SW Cullies River as it debouches into the subrectangular N part (dims c. 300-370m E-W; c. 340m N-S) of Gulladoo Lough (L c. 3km NE-SW). It was first noted from local reports by Oliver Davies in 1942 (SMR file). This is a submerged area (dims 11m x 6m) in deep water consisting of a series of large hewn timber posts (max. L 2m; max. diam. 0.25m), mostly lying prone. The centre is of stone, and it is probably an unfinished crannog. It is only visible when the level of the lake is exceptionally low, and its precise location cannot be provided.
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.
