What is recorded here
Large roughly circular island (diam. c. 25m) in Derryvehil Lough, c. 75m from the shoreline. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) recorded a few piles around the shore and noted that these formerly extended about the circumference of the island. On the E side of the island he identified a circular mound (diam. c. 10m) rising 1.22m over the main part of the island. (Davies 1942, 21)
