The National Monuments Service's description
Lough Lea was a rectangular lake (dims. c. 400m E-W; c. 300m N-S) with a large peninsula attached to the S shore in 1837 but is now a collection of small pools, one of which (dims. c. 120m E-W; c. 90m N-S) is at the SE angle of the original lake and just to the N of this location. This is a small promontory (diam. c. 20m) with no evidence of artificial construction and bounded by drains SW-N-SE. Artefacts, including parts of two iron swords were found at this lake (Wood-Martin 1886, 233). Crannogs (RO023-164001; RO023-164002-) are c. 140m and c. 160m to the N, crannog (RO023-208----) is c. 130m to the NE, and rath (RO023-165----) is c. 200m to the E.
