What is recorded here

Located towards the NE end of Inner Lough, c. 400m from the NE end and c. 120m and c. 160m from the nearest points of the NW and SE shores of the lake. It is depicted as a small island on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a small overgrown cairn (dims 9m x 6m; H 0.6m above water) with no structural features visible but animal bones and charcoal are plentiful on the surface. The cairn can be seen extending below the water (diam. c. 16-18m; D 0.8-1.5m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 19 June 2018
