In the centre of Loch Hoirbeaird. Kinahan (1872, 11) recorded a 'lake stone-dwelling' in this lake, describing it as 'a peculiar structure somewhat allied to a crannog, being wholly or in part an artificial island, but no wood appears to have been used in its construction'. This would appear to be one of the two completely overgrown oval islands towards the lake centre. Inspected from lake shore only. (Wood-Martin 1893, 33)
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).
