Small triangular-shaped island (c. 28m ENE-WSW; c. 22m NW-SE) in shallow water, in Derrybrick Lough, c. 35m from the shoreline. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) recorded the foundations of a small roughly circular hut consisting of loose rough stones one course high, which apparently had a small rough porch, on the inshore point of the island. Within the hut he found (Davies 1942, 16) a bronze axe with low hammered flanges and a cross-inscribed slab which he speculated may have been taken from Drumlane c. 500m to WNW (CV014-028----). Stakes were also observed between the island and the mainland. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
