  Connected to the W shore of Templevanny Lough by an area of boggy, wet grassland. A roughly circular low-mound crannog (24.4m N-S; 23.4m E-W; H 1.47m above the lake-bed). The centre consists of a rounded elevation (18m N-S; 18m E-W; H 0.84m) that slopes gently from its central point, but drops abruptly at the edges. The elevation is surrounded by a peaty berm with an even surface. The crannog is overgrown with grass and surrounded by reeds. 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).

  In pasture, on top of a drumlin. A raised circular slightly concave area (int. diam. 3.8m) enclosed by a stony bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.25m). A number of narrow gaps were noted in the bank. The barrow is overgrown with ferns.

• SL040-235 Crannog
  Description

  In the SE corner of a drained lake; the extent of the lake is marked by a growth of rushes. Views are restricted by surrounding drumlins though Kesh Corann is visible in the distance. A roughly circular low-mound crannog (diam c. 31m; H 1.8m) sloping down gently to indistinct edges. There is an oval elevation (15.2m N-S; 11.9m E-W; H c. 0.35m) in the E portion. An old N-S drain cuts through this elevation revealing layers of sand flecked with charcoal as well as some evenly sized stones (dims. 0.3m x 0.2m). A more recent drain also cuts through the crannog, skirting the W edge of the elevation. This reveals that the crannog sits on lake sand, over which is a layer of peat containing horizontal timbers, roundwood and some brushwood. On top of this is a thin layer of fire-cracked stones. 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).
