What is recorded here
CRANNOG in Cavanacross, Feddan and Largy is an early Christian site in County Fermanagh. The name and place are clear even though little else has survived. A crannog is a built island, usually wooden, raised above water so life can continue when land becomes dangerous or crowded. People may have lived there, hidden there or left it when the lake changed. What is certain is that the site still exists and the name still points to it.
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.
