Gravel Ridge Island

Gravel Ridge Island is a 1.15-hectare islet in County Fermanagh, declared an Area of Special Scientific Interest on 30 September 2009 for its land, landscapes and biodiversity. The name suggests a shallow gravel bar where water once flowed around a ridge of stones, perhaps exposing a walking path during low summer levels. People may have crossed it to reach the far bank before roads and bridges changed the shape of the county.
