Located c. 50m from the NW shore and c. 65m from the NE shore of Creenagh Lough, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 600m NE-SW; c. 250-400m NW-SE) although it is represented as larger (dims c. 600m NE-SW; c. 400-600m NW-SE) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown subrectangular island (dims 25m N-S; 15m E-W; H 0.7m) with a well-defined boulder edge. Several interlocking timber planks and uprights are intermittently visible around the perimeter.
