Situated on Lough Ennell 30m W of the E shoreline. Listed as Belvidere 1 and described by O'Sullivan (2004, 83-4) as 'a small, rocky, irregular islet (approx. diam. 20m; H 2m) lying in open, shallow water (c. 1m depth). The site is located in 1m depth of water, 50m from the shoreline (c.60m from original shore). It is composed of large limestone blocks lying on possible bedrock outcrop. A second smaller islet (10m N/S) is located 30m to the south. These islets are not marked on maps, so may only have been exposed by the 1950s drainage scheme. The larger islet may be an enhanced natural islet, but this is not certain. This is a probable natural island, that may have been enhanced for use as a crannóg'.
