What is recorded here
Crannog is a man-made island in County Down, built when people wanted dry ground surrounded by water. The official record preserves that choice, while imagination supplies the missing shape: a small island, a wooden shore, a household pretending the lake was a wall. Clarity and legend both have a job.
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.
