This beautifully wooded island is shrouded in mystery.
The name is believed to come from Carbery (or Cairbre) one of the eight sons on Niall of the Nine Hostages a fourth century High-King of Tara.
The surname Carberry is still found in the vicinity of Athlone and perhaps they are descended from this Carbery.
At one point in its history, towards the end of the nineteenth century, it was used as a headquarters of Athlone Yacht Club before the club reformed to become Lough Ree Yacht Club.
