The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as an island (diam. c. 20m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and now situated in the basin of rectangular Ardakillin Lough (dims. c. 500m E-W; c. 350m N-S), c. 120m S of the S shore. The lake was much larger in the 19th century (dims. c. 1.8km NE-SW; c. 350m NW-SE at NE to c. 600m NW-SE at SW), extending much further to the NE (1837 OS 6-inch map). Subcircular grass-covered rise (dims. 38m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW; H 0.5m) with a circular grass-covered mound (diam. 9m; H 1m) at the SW edge. Crannog (RO028-106----) is c. 130m to the NW.
