In Coorhoor Lough c. 30m N of a promontory. Subcircular island (E-W 18m; N-S 17m) defined by a wide stone platform. This is revetted by an outer stone facing, best preserved at E and W. The interior, composed of earth, rises slightly towards the centre. A stone causeway runs SSE from the island, probably to the lake shore. Traces of possible landing places are visible at N and SSW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
