What is recorded here

Situated c. 70m from the E shore at the S end of the oval Lough Erril (max. dims c. 900m NW-SE; c. 470m NE-SW). The lake is represented as slightly larger (max. dims c. 1km NW-SE; c. 530m NE-SW) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as Cloonbo Lough. This is an overgrown, circular, steep-sided, stony island (diam. c. 25m; H 1-1.3m) surrounded at NW, S and E by collapsed timber uprights (exposed L 1m) placed c. 1.5m apart. The rath (LE032-084----) is on the shore c. 100m to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
