Island 404 - Illancarragh/An tOileán Carrach, County Donegal

Illancarragh (An tOileán Carrach in Irish) is an small grass covered uninhabited tidal island sandwiched between the larger island of Inishinny to the north and the mainland of County Donegal at An Chloch Ghlas to the south.  An Chloch Ghlas isn't a village as such but more a settlement of scattered houses two miles north of the small town of Burtonport.  Illancarragh is accessible at low tide across about 200 metres of golden sand.  The island is about 200 metres from east to west by 100 metres from north to south.
