The National Monuments Service's description
In Ballydoo Lough. Still Island, a small overgrown circular island in N half of the lake, is held by local tradition to have once been inhabited. Drainage work in recent years has lowered the water level, exposing a possible causeway, marked by a narrow band of reeds, running from the island to N shore. Inspected from lake shore only.
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).
