The National Monuments Service's description
Situated c. 30m from the S shore of Drumlona Lough close to its E end. Dromlona is a large sub-oval lake (dims c. 700m ENE-WSW; c. 200-450m NNW-SSE) that bends down to the S at either end. The crannog is an overgrown cairn (diam. 13m) composed of small stones with no structural features evident. On the N side a shelf extends outwards (L 5-6m) in shallow water before it plunges into deep water.
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.
