Situated c. 30m m from the S shore of a small bay (dims c. 200m E-W; c. 80-100m N-S) at the E end of Tom’s or Kilconny Lough. This is depicted as a small island only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is visible on all the aerial media as a small island (diam. c. 10m) with a tree. It was first reported by Anne-Karoline Distel and is not yet visited.
