What is recorded here

Crannog in Clonagonnell is a small circular mound of earth and stones in County Cavan, Ireland, where burnt timbers still protrude from its sides. It sits in low-lying marshy land that was once Tonymore Lough, suggesting people lived above water before the basin changed. The mound may have been a home, a refuge or a marker, but its sharp edges and drowned setting keep it uncertain.
