The National Monuments Service's description
Located near the NE angle of Tullallen Lough, a small C-shaped lake (dims c. 300m N-S; c. 225m E-W) that is open to the E, c. 45m from the N shore and c. 75m from the NE shore. It is depicted as an island only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is an overgrown feature that was impossible to access.
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.
