What is recorded here

Crannog in Cargin Demesne is a crannog in Cargin Demesne, County Roscommon, Ireland. History records the burning of the crannog of Lough Cairgin in 1388. The low-lying ground northwest of the site probably formed a turlough with the Ogulla stream on its northwest side, though no crannog remains visible. Carrigin probably refers to Ardakillin Lough rather than this specific location.
