What is recorded here

In E half of Killeen Lake. Killanin (1954, 101) records that 'the island in [this lake] is reputed to be a crannog'. The 2nd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1898) shows two islets, the easternmost and more substantial of which is a roughly triangular island (c. 20m by c. 15m) mantled in overgrowth. This is probably the island referred to, though no archaeological features are visible. Inspected from lake shore only. 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).
