CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog in Aghnaloo is an artificial island habitat in County Fermanagh, built during the Medieval period. People likely stacked stones and soil above the water to create dry ground for housing, herding, or worship. The lake may have hidden the structure from enemies or simply gave the residents a view across open water.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. 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.
