What is recorded here
Small circular island (diam. c. 20m) in Aghavoher Lough, c. 1 km from the shoreline marked on all OS eds. Davies recorded that it was apparently a log platform and detailed finds from the site including several animal bones and shells, hones, two pieces of quern, a block of iron, a jug handle and c. twenty sherds of unglazed crannóg pottery from which seven pots were identified. He noted the former presence of a 19th-century stone cottage on the island and contemporary glazed sherds and pieces of an iron cauldron. It was suggested that the crannóg was occupied principally in the 16th century.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
