What is recorded here

Located at the SW end of Kilmaddaroe Lough (dims. c. 450m NNE-SSW; c. 180m WNW-ESE). It is depicted as a small island on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-incch map at a point where a small stream debouches to the SW. The island has become attached to the shore on the 1911 edition. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 20m; H 1m) with a single tree attached to the shore at S and surrounded by reeds W-N-SE, but with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LE027-119
