The National Monuments Service's description
A small island described as ‘Lady Elizabeth’s Island’ is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 35m from the E shore of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W). This is an overgrown island, irregular in plan (diam. of base c. 20m) with a flat topped cairn (diam. of base c. 10m; H 2-3m) in the centre. There is no evidence of timber construction around the base of the cairn, although it is possible that the cairn obscures such evidence.
