The National Monuments Service's description
Small island, roughly square in plan, in Drummany Lough, c. 10m from the shoreline. Marked on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. The level of the lake has fallen considerably with the result that the area of the island has become marshland.
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.
