The National Monuments Service's description
Irregular-shaped island (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 35m N-S) in Clonamullig Lough, c. 100m from the shoreline. Davies (NMI Survey 1942) recorded that on the shore of the island, horizontal cross beams were identified at many locations. Other finds from the shoreline include some iron slag, many unburnt bones and part of a rotary quern, but none datable.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
