The National Monuments Service's description
The townlands of Ballygreary and Bryanlitter were separated by a small oval lake now represented by a rush-covered marshy bog (max. dims c. 370m NE-SW; c. 120m NW-SE). There was local knowledge in the 1940s of a zig-zag stone causeway at the SW end that ran out to a cairn in the bog (SMR file). There is no visible evidence of these features.
