What is recorded here
Standing on the NW side of Lough Ennell 130m E of the original shoreline with Ladestown. Listed as Shaunoge Shallows and described by O'Sullivan (2004, 105) as 'Located on northwest side of lake, c.60m from the natural islands off the original shore of Ladestown townland, 130m to the original shoreline . Present remains consist of a small, rocky, oval islet (approx. dims. 25m N-S x 20m E-W; H 3.5m) located in open, shallow water (c. 1m depth). It is clearly marked as a small, circular island on OS maps. It is heavily overgrown by trees and has been enlarged by the post 1950s drop in water levels. This may be a crannog, but this cannot be ascertained'.
