What is recorded here

Crannog in Cloonturk,drumod Beg,moherrevan is an unlocated water dwelling beside a lake that doubles in size when rain fills its basin. Wood-Martin named two crannogs there in 1886, but never showed where either one sat. The lough may still hide them beneath its changing edge, waiting for a dry summer or a brave swimmer to reveal what the water keeps.

Cloonturk Lough is a small oval lake (dims c. 300m N-S; c. 180m E-W) in a low-lying basin. which can flood to its old extent (dims c. 600m N-S; c. 270m E-W) as represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, although. Wood-Martin (1886, 243) lists it as having two crannogs, but no supporting evidence is provided and this crannog remains unlocated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 January 2020
