The National Monuments Service's description
A small island (dims c. 15m N-S; c. 7m E-W) is depicted only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map in Drummeen Lough, a small oval lake (dims c. 120m N-S; c. 50m E-W) which is on a S-N tributary of the Cloone River. The lake is represented as larger (dims c. 280m N-S; c. 100m E-W) on the 1835 edition of the map, but it has now silted up and is covered in mixed woodland. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in scrub.
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.
