The National Monuments Service's description
Described in italic lettering as ‘Creevaghern Island’ on the 1835 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is located c. 180m from the W shore of Lough Macnean Upper (dims c. 4.5km NW-SE; c. 1.5km NE-SW). This is an overgrown circular island (diam. 15m; H 0.75m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
