At the S end of Lough Duff, a former lake, now a marsh. A raised circular area (dims. 19m N-S; 20.4m E-W; H 1.25m) with no visible causeway leading to the site. There is no evidence of timber, though stones and cinders have been found there according to the landowner. Referred to in the OS Namebooks (1840) as 'an artificial island built upon piles and hurdles' with 'part of the boat and oars, a brass skillet and the handle of a sword or dagger' found in the vicinity.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
