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.
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.
