Dova Haw, also known as Crab Island, is a small islet off Furness in Lancashire North of the Sands, in Morecambe Bay just a third of a mile from Barrow Island and half a mile from Walney Island, which are adjacent to the town of Barrow-in-Furness.
Dova Haw was formerly the site of an oil lamp lighthouse built from stone, whose foundations are still visible. It has also been known as Crab Island as Furness folk went crab fishing there.
