Description
Large roughly circular island (diam. c. 25m) in Derryvehil Lough, c. 75m from the shoreline. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) recorded a few piles around the shore and noted that these formerly extended about the circumference of the island. On the E side of the island he identified a circular mound (diam. c. 10m) rising 1.22m over the main part of the island. (Davies 1942, 21) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
