The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bulbous N end of St Peter’s Lough, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 475m NNW-SSE; c. 100-170m ENE-WSW), the E half of which is in Co. Armagh. It is depicted as a large island on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a large overgrown subcircular cairn (dims 22m N-S; 18m E-W) composed largely of stone with no earth but kerbstones can be distinguished at the E edge. No wooden features were visible but where erosion had broken the surface animal bones and charcoal was visible.
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.
