What is recorded here
Crannog in Cordevlis is a forgotten circular cairn, eleven metres across, sitting forty metres from the northern shore of White Lough. It has no wooden remains or kerb, only earth and age. The absence of structure suggests either a temporary dwelling or a marker for something no longer visible. In a county where water and land blur, even emptiness can be a shape.
This crannog is not depicted on any OS map. It is an overgrown circular cairn (diam. 11m) located c. 40m from the N shore of a boggy area of White Lough. There is no evidence of a kerb or any wooden structural features.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
