What is recorded here
Thirty-two metres of wet stone link the crannog to the mainland, barely clearing the surface of Maghery Lough. The path is narrow enough to force a person to walk slowly, feel the water at their ankles and trust the stones beneath their feet. That is a bridge built for attention, not hurry.
In Maghery Lough, associated with an island crannog (DG056-005001-).
This causeway (L 32m; Wth 0.6-1m; H 0.2-0.4m) extends from the E side of the crannog to the mainland on the E shoreline of the lake. It is roughly constructed, consisting of a low narrow pile of stones and boulders barely rising above water level. It incorporates a large natural boulder towards its E, landward end.
