What is recorded here
Crannog is a man-made island in County Derry, built when people wanted dry land and a defensible home above the water. The official record preserves the name and marks the site, while the lake keeps the shape of a choice made long before writing. Someone drove stakes, tossed soil, and refused the swamp. That much still stands in the water.
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.
