What is recorded here

Standing 100m NE of Dysart Island off the W shoreline of Lough Ennell. Listed as Dysart Island 2 and described by O'Sullivan (2004, 93) as comprising of a 'circular cairn (approx. diam. 15m; H 2m) built on sandy lake marl, in c. 1.6m, standing 10cm above water levels. It is constructed of medium to small sized stones. It has a level surface, an even profile and slopes steeply into the water on all sides. It is almost completely submerged under the water. This is an unusual site, a small stony islet in an isolated location, in deep water'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 February 2017
