Crannog

What is recorded here

Crannog in Aghavadden,derrymacoffin,killaneen,muckros,tomloskan occupies a strange gap between memory and evidence. Wood-Martin named four crannogs in St. John's Lough, yet only two remain plainly identifiable. The other two may still float beneath water, hide inside marsh or have been taken by men who stopped asking permission. That is the danger of a forgotten crannog: it does not disappear, it stops answering.
Wood-Martin (1886, 240-3) refers to four crannogs in St. John's Lough, but apart from (LE024-011----) and (LE024-012----) none of them has been satisfactorily identified. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 16 January, 2017
