The National Monuments Service's description
Off-centre to NW of Lough Cullaunyheeda, c. 320m from the shoreline at NW. Initially noted by the Discovery Programme in 2001 during analysis of aerial photography and described as a ‘stone built platform’. Depicted on the 25-inch OS map and 1921 edition OS 6-inch map as an isolated cluster of rock outcrop and on modern OS mapping as a small, roughly circular island (c. 20.5m N-S; c. 21m E-W). Not accessible during 2017 survey due to high water levels. A small cluster of limestones were noted protruding just above the water level at this location. These were further highlighted by a tree and enclosed to W and N by reeds.
