What is recorded here

Lough Egish is a large subrectangular lake (dims c. 2km NW-SE; c. 700m NE-SW) with a large promontory occupying much of the NE side, and it has numerous small islands and bays. This crannog is situated in an area of open water c. 150m from the SW shore. It is depicted as a small island on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is described as ‘Rock Island’ on the 1907 edition. This is a circular cairn (diam. 15m; H c. 2m) incorporating natural rock outcrop but with small stones and boulders. No wooded structures or stone kerbing was noted.
