What is recorded here
Drumheel is a submerged or hidden crannog in County Cavan, Ireland. It is not an ordinary visible island, and the missing or drowned character may matter more than a familiar sounding name.
Situated in the most northerly part of Lough Oughter, c. 20m from the E shore of a rectangular bay (dims c. 550m NNW-SSE; c. 440m ENE-WSW) and at its outer (S) edge. A small island (diam. c. 5m) is visible when the lake level is low as can be seen on satellite images from Apple Maps (c. 2012) and Google Earth (05/05/2017; 06/06/2018; 21/04/2020). Not visited.
