The National Monuments Service's description
In a small bay on the W shore of Lough Arrow, c. 130m SE of another possible crannog (SL040-116----). This possible crannog is submerged to a depth of 0.65m below the water but is visible as a stand of bulrushes c. 1.35m H above the lake-bed. The surface seems to consist of mainly large stones and the crannog is distinct in material from its surroundings. Another crannog (SL040-048----) lies c. 750m to NNW.
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).
