What is recorded here

Large irregularly shaped island (dims. c. 70m NW-SE; c. 50m NW-SW) in Lough Ramor, c. 70m from the shoreline. Davies (ITA Survey 1940) recorded foundations of a rectangular hut on the central mound which is c. 3.5m above the water-level of the lake. 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
