The National Monuments Service's description
Attached at low water by a muddy causeway to the W shore of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8 km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W) close to its N end. This is an overgrown, circular, stony area (diam. 20m; H 1.5m) surrounded along the water's edge at N and E by collapsed timber stakes placed c. 1m apart.
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.
