Sunken-shaped scrub-covered waterlogged area aligned NE-SW on the E edge of the monastic cashel cut into the E shoreline of Lough Ree which may be the remains of some form of boat naust or slipway feature. This earthwork which is open to the water, lies adjacent to ‘Corraphortanarla Point’ that is annotated on the OSi 25-inch map. The ‘phort’ element of the place-name along with the sunken waterlogged earthwork and a projecting feature visible on the shoreline at this location on the Digital Globe orthoimage may indicate the presence of a harbour of unknown antiquity. The ‘Corra’ element of the place-name may indicate the presence of a fishing weir along the shoreline at this location.
