What is recorded here
Located c. 50m from the NE shore of Drumgilra or Gortinty Lough, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 800-900m NE-SW; c. 400m NW-SE at SW to c.700m NW-SE at NE). This is an overgrown, steep-sided, earth and stone island (diam. 26m N-S; 23.5m E-W; H 1.5m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction, but there can be no doubt that is a crannog.
