The National Monuments Service's description
Davies (1942, 30) recorded a circular habitation area (diam. 7m; H 0.2m) defined by a few oak piles and branches capped by earth and stones, on an island in Lough Inchin, c. 40m from the shoreline. An occupation layer of greyish sand (D c. 0.3m) containing charcoal and burnt bone, was found at the centre of this deposit, with yet another layer below this comprising a patchwork floor of twigs and small boughs of oak.
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.
