In Lough Allua, on the River Lee c. 2.9km W of Inchigeelagh. Named 'Illaunyweahagane' on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps; translated by O'Donoghue (1986, 244) as 'Oilean Uí Mhaothagain (Meighan's island) from a Cineal Laoghaire chieftain'. Lunham (1909, 22) noted 'many of the wooden piles forming the substructure of the crannoge are still visible and a passage raised above the level of the lake's bed leads to a rath in the vicinity of the shore' (CO081-011----). Briefly inspected by Tony Balfe in January 1994 under licence from the OPW. He described a roughly circular artificial island (circumference 65-70m) composed of boulders.

At W side spread of boulders covers palisade. Centre inaccessible due to overgrowth. Raised passage mentioned above was not found.
