Small oval-shaped island (dims. c. 30m ENE-WSW; c. 18m NNW-SSE) marked on OS 1836 and 1876 eds., c. 45m from the shoreline. Water-levels in the lake have dropped considerably and the site is now identifiable only as a clump of vegetation protruding above the reeds.
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.
