Depicted as an island 180m E of the W shoreline of Lough Ennell on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map with Dysart Island 420m to SSE. Depicted as Ash Island on the 1911 revised ed. OS 6-inch map but today located on marshy shoreline of Lough Ennell. Described by O'Sullivan (2004, 82-3) as 'low, oval cairn (approx. dims. 30m N-S x 30m E-W; H 2m) of stones, earth, with stones scattered around the site. It slopes down gradually to the edges. It is located in drained marshy land and is heavily overgrown by trees, but was originally in shallow, open water to the north of Dysart Island. This is a probable crannóg, potentially of early medieval date'.
