What is recorded here

Lady's Island is a small circular stone islet in Lough Carra, County Mayo, built rather than formed and still standing about two metres above summer water. Its sharp shape, steady height and short southwest breakwater suggest people made it, used it and left it to the lake's patience. It may have been a crannog, a refuge or a marked place within the older occupied landscape around Castlecarra. Whatever it was, the water kept it sharp while the land forgot the name.
