What is recorded here

Small roughly circular island (diam. c. 25m) in the Erne River, c. 25m from the shoreline. Marked on all OS eds. Davies (1942, 19; NMI Survey 1941) described a flat-topped mound (dims, of summit 8.8m x 6m; H 2.4m) composed of whitish clay and stones, surrounded by a few piles. Some charcoal, scraps of burnt bone and old bricks were noted on the summit of the mound. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
