The National Monuments Service's description
Located against the NE shore of the sub-triangular Annyalty Lough (dims c. 150m NW-SE; c. 100m NE-SW at NW) with the apex at SE. This is the southern rump of what was once a larger lake (dims c. 500m N-S; c. 200m E-w) connecting at least with the northern part of the lake. This is a circular overgrown mound (diam. c. 16m; H 1.5m) with some mature trees rising from the waterlogged margin of the lake.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
