A cluster of rock platforms were identified by Karkov & Ruffing (1990-1, 108-110), on the E shoreline of Rochfort Bay on Lough Ennell. The site would originally have been located c. 10m from original shoreline. Listed as Rochfort Demesne 1 and described by O'Sullivan (2004, 95) as 'a small, irregular rock platform (dims. 18m N-S x 16m E-W; H 1m), possibly a natural bedrock outcrop that has been enhanced or enlarged. It has an even profile, with large slabs exposed along the water edge. There are large angular limestone blocks lying on the surface. This site is a possible prehistoric or medieval rock platform, potentially associated with the early medieval crannóga (WM026-114----; WM026-109----) at Goose Islands. The nearest archaeological site is the crannóg at Goose Island (WM026-109----), 220m to west, a
mound at Rochfort Demesne (WM026-048----), 350m to southeast.'
