Near the shore, opposite Lee's Island there is an ancient stone fort called Cathair Aidhne and, like all the other parishes along the lake, numerous caves, lisíns, raths, and cairns can be seen therein. The island contains forty-seven and a half acres, and was in former days a scene, as well as the cause, of a memorable dispute between the O'Flahertys and the O'Lees.
