What is recorded here
Carncoagh is a crannog in Lisnacrogher, County Antrim, recorded for the E.CHRIST. period. A waterlogged island may have supported a small dwelling, forcing its residents to read rain and tide before reading people. The name resists certainty, but the shape remains clear: a room built against the swamp, where every door handled water and every fire answered darkness.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG?: CARNCOAGH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
