What is recorded here
Green Island in Drumgay Lough, County Fermanagh, still wears the shape of a crannog, though water and time have softened its edges. It belongs to the Christian era and carries scheduled protection, marking it as a place where people lived above the lough rather than beside it. The island may have hosted homes, herds or rituals, but its exact role has faded. What remains is a green lump in the water, waiting for someone to imagine the life it once held.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG IN DRUMGAY LOUGH: GREEN ISLAND. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
