  Description

  In Doonloughaun Lough amidst a group of small islands to SE of a promontory. Known locally as a 'fort', this small subcircular island (WSW-ENE 14m; NNW-SSE 12.5m) is defined by a collapse of loose stone. The interior rises towards the centre and at SE is an enigmatic circular platform (D 6.7m) of natural rock outcrop, possibly a habitation area. At N, a stone causeway (L 8m, Wth 1m) leads to a nearby small natural island. A natural shelf of rock outcrop at S may have been used as a landing place. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
