What is recorded here

Kedge Island is an islet in County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the name Kedge is a corrupted form of Dhúlaing, suggesting the island belongs to a family rather than a mystery. Maybe the water around it is shallow enough for wading but deep enough to drown arrogance. Imagine standing on the islet at low tide, hearing the sea pull back and return like a living thing remembering its shape.

Irish name Oileán Dhúlaing means Dhúlaing(s) (anglicized to Dowling) Island

Kedge Island, known in Irish as Oileán Dhúlaing, takes its name from the Dhúlaing family, an early Irish seafaring and fishing community associated with the area. The island is notable for reflecting the historical presence and influence of the Dowling clan in the region's maritime heritage.
