What is recorded here
Coney Island is a wooded islet in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland, where a 13th-century Anglo-Norman motte and 16th-century stone tower still stand beside traces of a native settlement and small iron industry. It lies between the River Blackwater and River Bann, a short distance from Maghery, and its name comes from coney, meaning rabbit. The island has changed from a lived and fortified place to a protected landmark reached by boat, carrying layers of occupation, trade and memory in a small area of water.
Coney Island is recorded as a islet in County Armagh. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
