What is recorded here

Two islands c. 50m apart situated in a shallow bay in Lough Ramor. The larger NE island is roughly oval in plan (dims. c. 80m NNE-SSW; c. 45m WNW-ESE). The SW island is subrectangular in plan (dims. c. 70m NNW-SSE; c. 30m E-W). Davies (ITA Survey 1942) described both islands as 'fairly open', with central mounds rising to c. 3m 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
