What is recorded here

Crannog in Cornagarrow was a large subcircular island about 35 metres across in Cormuttog Lough, County Cavan, standing 110 metres from the shore. The lake has since drained into marshland, erasing the island from sight. Whatever life moved across that water, the marsh keeps its shape only in memory now.
