What is recorded here

Bush Island is a narrow artificial crannog in Lough Rea, built from a pile of stones and still carrying a few trees. It belongs to a small cluster of six made islands in the northeast of the lake, each one a deliberate act of ownership, shelter or pride. People may have stood there at dusk, reading the water like a road, while the stones beneath their feet held the shape of human choice.

Located within the NE sector of Lough Rea, this is one of six crannogs (see also GA105-198----, GA105-198001-, GA105-198002-, GA105-199---- and GA105-224----) in this area of the lake. It is roughly subrectangular in plan (c. 15m N-S; c. 2m E-W) and has been artificially built on a pile of stones. A few trees are growing on it.
