The National Monuments Service's description
On the shoreline, on the S shore of the outflow of Lough Gara into the River Boyle. A roughly circular compilation of moss-covered stones (4.6m N-S; 6.6m E-W; H 0.55m above the meadow) arranged roughly in a spiral. Immediately to SE is a possible boat slip, consisting of similar building material and which may be contemporary with the possible crannog.
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).
