What is recorded here
Crannog in Drumachon is a lost island in County Cavan, Ireland. It vanished when Cormuttog Lough drained, removing the water that made the crannog visible and reachable. The lake bed may still hold the shape of human life, but the water no longer exists to reveal it.
Small roughly circular island (diam. c. 15m) marked on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. in Cormuttog Lough, c. 25m from the shoreline. This lake has been drained and the site is now inaccessible.
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.
