What is recorded here

Foynes Island is a quiet Shannon Estuary island where conifers still hide a fifteen-metre burnt mound from the Bronze Age. Hot stones were likely cast into water there, shaking the slope and leaving behind a dark ridge of shattered rock. The island is not a showplace, but it is not empty either: it is a kitchen old enough to make flying boats sound like a recent invention.

Foynes Island is recorded as a island in County Limerick. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Foynes Island, located in County Limeric, is associated with the nearby town of Foynes, historically significant as the site of the Irish entry point for transatlantic air travel during the 1930s. The island likely supported local fishing and agricultural communities, typical of the region's rural landscape.
