The National Monuments Service's description
Oval-shaped island (dims. c. 45m E-W; 25m N-S) marked on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. The water-level in the lake has dropped considerably and the site is now visible only as a clump of trees and bushes rising above the reeds and rushes.
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.
