The National Monuments Service's description

Timbers and a millstone were discovered on the exposed shoreline when the lake levels dropped in January 2006. On relatively flat ground at the base of a fairly steep slope that forms the foothills of Lugnagun, and formerly a shelf overlooking the floodplains of the River Liffey. Two large, squared, timber beams (max. dims. L 0.9m; Wth 0.18m; T 0.09m) protruding above the ground surface appear to represent the sides of the wheel pit of a mill and are associated with a series of small upright timber stakes (max. dims. L 0.10m; Wth 0.1m; H 0.26m) which may have acted as supports to the timbers facing the wheel pit or the tail race. A low, linear ridge extending to the E of the site may represent a mill race, but it was not investigated.
