What is recorded here
Located c. 50m from the E shores of Lough Machugh, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 650-850m N-S; c. 300m E-W at N to c. 500m E-W at S). This is an overgrown stony island (diam. c. 25-30m; H 1.5m) surrounded by a line of upright timbers placed 1.5m apart in the water S-W. The island is clearly defined by a boulder edge at W and N, but the perimeter is less clear at NE.
