Lough Key

Lough Key is a lake in County Roscommon, Ireland, near Boyle, scattered with wooded islands. On one of them stood the Rock of Lough Cé, the island fortress of the MacDermots of Moylurg, whose family gave their name to the Annals of Loch Cé. The lakeshore estate of the King family, Rockingham, is now a forest park.
