What is recorded here
Crannog in Corglass is a submerged stone-and-timber island in Doogary Lough, County Longford, Ireland. It measures about twenty-one metres north-south and sixteen metres east-west, rising barely more than a metre above the lake bed. Stones scatter around horizontal timbers, while fossil wood rings the site in dark water. Whatever life moved there now sinks beneath lough light, leaving only shape and shadow behind.
In the NE part of Doogary Lough. This low-cairn crannog (21.15m N–S; 16.45m E–W) rises 1.4m above the soft lake-bed. It is submerged and seems to consist of stones scattered on and around a few horizontal timbers. A large number of fossil timbers surround it.
