Lough Atedaun (Irish: Loch an tSéideáin)[1] is a freshwater lake in the Mid-West Region of Ireland. It is located in The Burren of County Clare.

Geography

[edit]

Lough Atedaun measures about 1 km (0.6 mi) long and 0.5 km (0.3 mi) wide. It is about 15 km (9 mi) north of Ennis near the village of Corofin.[2]

Hydrology

[edit]

Lough Atedaun lies along the River Fergus which flows in from neighbouring Inchiquin Lough. Nearby Lough Cullaun also flows in to Lough Atedaun. The lake is highly eutrophic.[4]

Natural history

[edit]

Fish species in Lough Atedaun include perch, rudd, pike, stone loach and the critically endangered European eel.[4] The lake is part of the East Burren Complex Special Area of Conservation.[5] It is also part of the Corofin Wetlands Special Protection Area.[6]
