Located at the S end of Cloonfinnan Lough, a subrectangular lake (max. dims c. 700m NNW-SSE; c. 400m ENE-WSW) represented as slightly larger (max. dims c. 770m NNW-SSE; c. 425m ENE-WSW) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown circular island (diam. 33m; H 1.75m) surrounded in the water by lines of timber uprights and wattle bedding which are best preserved W-NNE. There is a quernstone in the interior. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
