The National Monuments Service's description
In the S half of Lough Bannow. Marked on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small, irregularly shaped island (diam. c. 15m). When visited the lake was a swamp full of man-sized reeds and sally trees. Despite a thorough search it was not located. Another possible crannog (LF017-005----) lies c. 75m to the NNW.
