What is recorded here

Situated at SE end of Lough Ennell. Listed as Gaddaghanstown 1 and described by O'Sullivan (2004,86) as 'a large, oval island (approx. dims. 30m N-S x 20m E-W; H 3m), even in profile, with gradually sloping edges. It is probably a natural island, connected to the shoreline by a low, broad causeway, c. 15m in length, by 5m in width. It is lightly covered in trees. There are at least three rock platforms in the vicinity, one in open water to the northeast, with two rock platforms on shoreline immediately overlooking the island. These rock platforms are low, irregular or oval in shape, typically 15-20m E-W, of closely packed limestone blocks'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 February 2017
