Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Very small circular island (diam. c. 15m) in BunLough, c. 25m from the shoreline. Densely overgrown with vegetation. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) recorded a log platform 'with criss-cross beams laid out, piles to hold the whole structure in place, and stones laid on top of these'. He also found animal remains and a lead musket bullet. (Davies 1942, 19)
