Islands of Ireland: Bingham’s Island in County Roscommon measures three perches (75 square metres)

This tiny speck of an island is the smallest island to appear in this series and considering the diminutive size of a few of them, that is saying something.

Flea Island near Castletownshend, County Cork, has, in old money, 0.7 of an acre; Trummera Big in the Shannon Estuary has zero acres, 19 roods and three perches; Bingham’s Island in County Roscommon comes in at a massive 3 perches or 75sq m.
