The National Monuments Service's description
It is depicted as a small island feature in the N subrectangular part of Black Lough (max. dims c. 380-560m NNW-SSE; c. 370m ENE-WSW). This is a subcircular cairn (dims 9m x 7m; H 0.5m over the water) with some trees composed of stones but 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.
