What is recorded here

Just off the S end of the NE shore of the triangular Lough Donogher (max. dims c. 700m NW-SE: c. 500m NE-SW), which has its apex at NW. A small island (diam. c. 5m) is depicted only on the 1909 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Some quernstones from Lavareen townland, probably from this feature, were acquired by the National Museum of Ireland (Lucas 1957, 132). However, there is no visible evidence of a crannog in this area of Lough Donogher.
