The National Monuments Service's description
In Annagh Lough, c. 60m from the shoreline. Trial-excavation carried out at this site by Davies in 1941. He discovered that the core of the island is a natural morainic ridge, with a mound comprising three distinct habitation layers at its N extent. Finds included medieval pottery in the lowest and middle layers, a large shaped beam of oak, a piece of copper and portion of a shoe. Also found on the island were scraps of burnt bone, ox-teeth, a weathered sherd of pottery and a worked triangular flake of chert. Not visited. (Davies 1942, 21-5)
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.
