The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the NE apex of the triangular Gortermore Lough (max. dims c. 570m NE-SW; c. 400m NW-SE at W), c. 30m from the N shore. This is an overgrown, kidney-shaped, stony island (dims 12m N-S; 11m E-W; H 0.6m) surrounded by timber logs lying at the water's edge at S. A causeway (L 10m) extends N from the island, and a single timber can be seen in the mound at the centre.
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.
