"The largest island in Lough Derg is Inishgoosk; it has no historical interest. The second largest island is Saints' Island, called St. Dabheoc's Island in early Christian times. It lies two miles north-west of Station Island, is some ten acres in extent, and it contains the largest area of fertile soil among all the lake islands. The verdure of its surface and the traces of ancient tillage still to be seen attract attention even from afar."
