What is recorded here

Two islands 60m apart, situated in a shallow sheltered bay, close to the SW shoreline of Lough Ramor. The larger NW island is subrectangular in plan (dims. c. 100m WNW-ESE; 60m NNE-SSW). The SE island is roughly circular (diam. c. 40m). Davies (ITA Survey 1940) recorded a mound at the centre of one of these islands c. 2m high but did not specify its location or whether the mound was natural or artificial. 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
