The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E angle of a small subrectangular lake (max. dims c. 190m NE-SW; c. 100m NW-SE), c. 25m from the original N and E shores. The lake is now reduced to a small swamp and is known locally as ‘Black Lough’. The crannog is depicted as an island in the lake on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown cairn (diam. 15m; H 0.3m) surrounded by drains. No structural features are evident.
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.
