What is recorded here
Crannog in Corralea (ballymoe By.) is an 80m circular island in the shallow southeast of Levally Lough, cloaked in rushes and marked by a possible eastern causeway. It is the kind of place where people may have waded across open water to reach a small home, turning a ordinary lough into a boundary between worlds. The causeway still hints at that choice, preserving the moment when isolation became a deliberate act of living.
In SE part of Levally Lough. A circular island (D c. 80m), in very shallow water, mantled by bushes and rushes. Traces of a possible causeway are visible at E.
