Small roughly circular island (diam. c. 30m) situated in Lough Oughter in a strait between the townlands of Derinish More and Eonish, in shallow water, c. 80m from the shoreline. Davies (ITA Survey 1942) described a cairn (diam. c. 5.4m; H c. 2.4m) encircled with piles situated on the central part of the island. A pot which Davies dated to the Late Bronze Age was found at the site. (Milligan 1885, 151)
