Rolleston (1900, 358-9) noted a fenced headland on the northwestern end of Caher Island. He writes: 'It is possible to trace the remains of a stone wall cutting off this portion of the island, the portion bordered by the sea-cliff, from the rest, in the manner of some of the stone forts on the Aran Islands and elsewhere...' However, he could not make up his mind whether this was an ancient structure or a modern fence. Westropp (1912) mentioned the site but omitted it from his list. This site was not visited.
