What is recorded here

A small island (dims c. 15m N-S; c. 7m E-W) is depicted only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map in Drummeen Lough, a small oval lake (dims c. 120m N-S; c. 50m E-W) which is on a S-N tributary of the Cloone River. The lake is represented as larger (dims c. 280m N-S; c. 100m E-W) on the 1835 edition of the map, but it has now silted up and is covered in mixed woodland. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in scrub.
