The National Monuments Service's description
Close to E shore of Tully Lough. Lynam (1922, 167) described Wood Island (D c. 40m) as 'probably a crannog' and recorded that 'A well-built, thick, stone wall, 3 feet [0.9m] high, which ran around it at the water's edge, still exists in many places'. He also noted 'an artificial creek or port opening through the wall' on the E side. None of these features were visible at time of visit but the island was obscured by heavy growth.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
