What is recorded here
An oval-shaped island in Brockagh Lough is possibly an artificial stone cairn formed around some natural rock. There is some evidence to suggest a causeway from the N corner of the island towards the mainland. The land about the lake is bleak, boggy and desolate.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
