What is recorded here

Man's Island in Lough Inagh is a small overgrown ringfort where a wide stone platform encloses a flat-topped earthen mound. A stone-lined quay still marks the eastern edge, suggesting the water once brought people, goods or boats directly to this forgotten chamber. The lake has taken the rest, leaving only a circular shadow in the reeds and a name that sounds like a joke the countryside stopped telling.

In S half of Lough Inagh to W of centre. Man's Island is a small subcircular overgrown island (N-S 24.5m; E-W 22.3m) defined by a wide stone platform. This encloses an earthen flat-topped mound with traces of a retaining wall at W. The remains of a stone-lined quay are visible at E.
