What is recorded here

Two small islands in Lough Oughter, c. 25m and c. 60m from the shoreline respectively. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) noted that both islands are now connected to the mainland and described them as comprising rock outcrop strewn with boulders. The outer island rises 0.45m above the old lake level. Here Davies discovered a roughly circular cairn (diam. c. 12m; H c. 0.9m) containing a thin layer of settlement refuse (Davies 1942, 17).
