CRANNOG

What is recorded here

CRANNOG in Drumhoney, County Fermanagh, is a small water place named in the official record for the Christian era. The name itself suggests a basin, pool or flooded depression rather than a grand building. It may have served drinking water, washing, fishing or quiet prayer beside a road or field. Even without a surviving monument, the name preserves the shape of the place and the human need that shaped it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
