What is recorded here

Not marked on any OS ed. Small circular island (diam. c. 22m) situated in Lough Oughter, in shallow water, c. 50m from the shoreline. Some stone is visible, possibly representing the remains of a low platform. Water-levels in Lough Oughter were lowered considerably during the middle decades of this century. Hitherto the site was not visible (local information). 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
