The National Monuments Service's description
Located close to the S shore of Errew Lough, an oval lake (dims c. 900m NNW-SSE; c. 500m WNW-ESE), which is on the N-S Cloone River, also known in this area as the Lurga River. An island is marked only on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 22). No crannog is evident in the lake but it might be incorporated in the shore.
