The National Monuments Service's description
On an flat island (c. 240m N-S x c. 95m E-W) in the middle of the River Suir, under pasture. The Civil Survey (1654-5) refers to 'two thatcht houses with chemnyes and a Bawne about them, some cabbins and an orchard. The River Sewer runeth by the sd lands' in the 'colpe of Cloghcully' under the proprietorship of 'Edmond Butler of Cloghcully Esqr & his ffather Thomas Lord Barron of Cahyr Irish Papists' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 342). Though this reference may be associated with Clocully Castle, 300m to the NE, there is definite evidence of a rectangular structure, probably a house, on the island. This structure is clearly visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in May 1977 (GSI S. 716/15). This possible house is located within the N apex of a bawn (TS088-023001-), also indicated as a cropmark on the aerial photograph. The NW angle of the bawn incorporates the N and W sides of the structure. None of these features are visible at ground level. This island is subject to flooding.
