Located at the NE end of Lough Nambraddan. This possible crannog is indicated as an island on the 1836 and 1907 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of as a low, roughly oval vegetation-covered island (c. 10-15m N−S; c. 8m E−W), which appears to be composed of a concentration of loose stones and boulders. It is known in local tradition as a crannog, and, according to local information, when lake levels were lower in the past it was possible to walk to the island on stepping stones. Some of the stepping stones are visible beneath the water to the E the island. A small drystone structure/cairn located at the S end of the island is of relatively recent date, constructed, according to local sources, by game-hunters, or possibly by local children (pers. comm. S. McGinley, February 2017).
