The National Monuments Service's description
A small island (diam. c. 10m) is depicted only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map in Farranseer Lough which is now a small rectangular area of open water (max. dims c. 150m NW-SE; c. 90m NE-SW) but the lake was once a larger teardrop-shaped area (dims c. 250m N-S; c. 180m E-W). The tree-covered island is visible on all the available aerial imagery and was first reported by Anne-Karoline Distel but it has not yet been visited.
