The National Monuments Service's description
About 150m off the E shore at the N end of Lough Fern is a subcircular island 18m N-S by 21m E-W. It is formed from a cairn of stones piled on the lake bed. There is a band of loose stones around the edge of the island which had been built up to form a wall face on the inner side. A 2m gap through this to the NE may be modern.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
