The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular island (diam. c. 5m), barely 5m from the NE shore of Derrynasallagh Lough (dims. c. 500m N-S; c. 250m E-W). It is not visible now and is not known locally as a crannog, but it might be incorporated into the shore of the lake.
