What is recorded here
Crannog in Clay is a scheduled archaeological site in County Down, Ireland, preserved from the early Christian period. The official record identifies it as CRANNOG, marking a place where human life may have shaped the land long before modern memory reached it. Its protection suggests the ground still holds enough shape to be worth keeping, even when the story has thinned to a name and a point on a map.
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.
