What is recorded here
Crannog in Drumalt is a small wooded island in County Cavan, Ireland. It sits in a hidden bay along the south shore of Garty Lough, where the water bends like a cupped hand. The island is about ten metres across, small enough to circle in minutes yet old enough to have watched people come and go. It is the kind of place that invites more than it answers.
Located in a small U-shaped bay (dims c. 90m E-W; c. 50m N-S) on the S shore of the subrectangular Garty Lough (dims c. 1.23km ENE-WSW; c. 0.5-0.95km NNW-SSE), but this feature is not depicted on any map. A small wooded island (diam. c. 10m) is visible on all the available aerial imagery from 1995 onwards. It was first reported by Anne-Karoline Distel but has not yet been visited.
