What is recorded here

One of two small islands marked on the OS latest edition, situated in a narrow inlet of Lough Oughter between the townlands of Gartnanoul and Derries Lower. The level of the lake has been lowered and both islands are now joined to the shore by a marshy stretch of land. The more northerly of the two islands appears to be entirely natural. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) described an oval cairn of small stones (dims. 19.8m x 11.2m) rising to 2m above water-level on the S island. He described the cairn as a habitation site and noted that some animal bones were found on the shore c. 100m ENE.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV019-033
