What is recorded here
CRANNOG in Ballinderry, County Antrim, is a scheduled ancient crater, not a modern invention or hidden chamber. It belongs to the earth itself, marking the moment when the sky fell and reshaped the land. People may have walked its rim, feared its depth or simply lived beside the scar. The crater remains the fact; human memory must fit around that sudden violence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
