What is recorded here
CRANNOG? in Ballymacpeake Lower, County Derry, is an unclassified archaeological site from the E.CHRIST. period. The name itself resists explanation, a question mark trapped inside the official record. Perhaps it was a boundary marker, a burial mound or a place where people gathered when the season turned. The land kept the shape of that use long after the names disappeared.
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.
