Crannog in Corfree

Crannog

What is recorded here

Crannog in Corfree is a large, low, circular stone mound sitting in Lough Gowna, County Cavan. It joins a second crannog nearby and a lakeside rath on the shore, forming a small cluster of ancient lake dwellings. Vegetations now covers much of the stones, but the shape still shows human hands building life above water.
Not marked on any OS ed. Located in Lough Gowna. Large, low, circular cairn of small to medium-sized stones. Largely overgrown with vegetation. Only a few meters away to S is a second crannóg (CV030-037----) while directly N on the shore is a lakeside rath (CV030-011----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
