The National Monuments Service's description
In a wet meadow which was formerly a lake. Views are restricted due to the surrounding drumlins; the summit of Kesh Corann, however, is visible to the S. A circular low-mound crannog (23.5m N-S; 22m E-W; H 1.3m), the surface of which consists of soil mixed with stones firmly set in the ground. The N half of the mound (10m N-S; 22m E-W; H 0.7m) is raised slightly above the less stony S half (H c. 0.3m). The perimeter of the crannog is distinct in form and material. It is overgrown with grass and flowers.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
