About
Mutton Island (Irish: Oileán Caorach), historically 'Enniskerry' (Inis Caorach, 'sheep island'), is an uninhabited island and townland off the coast of County Clare, Ireland, about 1.5 km (0.9 mi) from the mainland. The nearest village is Quilty, which is roughly 3.5 km (2.2 mi) from the island.
It is used mainly for grazing sheep, and is host to several abandoned houses and two forts.
There is no public ferry service to the island, on which there is no jetty or boat slipway. It contains no roofed buildings, but there is a limited supply of fresh water.
