What is recorded here

Situated in the water c. 10m from the E shore of Inis Cealtra. Weirs associated with the Ardnacrusha power station as part of the Shannon Hydro-electric scheme caused the level of the lake to rise and the shoreline to be flooded. A number of rocks are partially submerged in the area and this is the largest (1.5m x 0.85m; H 0.8m), it is subrectangular in plan with a straight NE side. The top of the boulder is very uneven and there is one circular basin (diam. 0.37m; D 0.12m at E and 0.07m at the lower W side) on the SW side.
