Located c. 60m from the NE shore of the subrectangular Annaghearly Lough (dims c. 570m NE-SW; c. 330-400m NW-SE). This is an overgrown oval island (dims 38m NW-SE; 29m NE-SW; H 1.5-2m) surrounded at E by a collapsed timber revetment (L 11m) at the water's edge. Much of the surface could be drainage spoil consisting of large boulders. See the attached view taken from the N.
