Indicated

Situated just off the E shore of Lough Derg on the River Shannon. A small circular stone-built island (approx. diam. 30m) which appears to have been artificially constructed with loosely piled rubble. A cashel (TN019-034005) was constructed on top of the crannóg by Conchobhar Ua Briain [Conor O'Brien], King of Thomond, in the 12th century (Westropp 1911-12, 211) and was later refortified with a tower house and bawn (TN019-034001) in the late medieval period. A stone causeway (Wth 1m; L 70m), which appears to have been recently widened and enlarged, connects the E portion of the crannóg to the shoreline. Described by Cairns (1987, 11) as the site of a crannóg. The townland is referred to as Cahirconner in the Civil Survey (Simington 1934, vol.2, 160). This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 4/2001).
