What is recorded here
Located in the centre of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W). A small island is depicted on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 23), and it is also depicted (diam. c. 20m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as ‘Maw Island’. Kane (1885-6, 408) lists this island as one of the crannogs of Lough Rinn. This feature has disappeared and cannot be identified from the surface, but its base might still survive.
