What is recorded here
Crannog is a water island in Ballaghmore, County Fermanagh, built by people who refused to leave the land when the lake rose. The official record preserves only its kind and place, but the shape suggests rooms, hearths and doors cut into living wood. Perhaps children ran across its deck while adults rowed past, certain the lake would never swallow what love had built.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. 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.
