The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. Small circular island (diam. c. 22m) situated in Lough Oughter, in shallow water, c. 50m from the shoreline. Some stone is visible, possibly representing the remains of a low platform. Water-levels in Lough Oughter were lowered considerably during the middle decades of this century. Hitherto the site was not visible (local information).
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.
