Crannog in Garadice Lough

Crannog

What is recorded here

Thirty metres from the south shore of Garadice Lough, a twenty-metre circle of trunks and boulders rises from the lake bed, possibly an abandoned crannog platform. It is not marked on any map, leaving the submerged structure hidden beneath clear water and local memory.
Situated c. 30m from the S shore of a bay (dims c. 500m E-W; c. 200m N-S) on the S shore of Garadice Lough (dims c. 3km E-W; c. 650m - 1.5km N-S), but it is not marked on any OS map. This comprises of a submerged area (diam. 20m) rising from the lake bottom, consisting of large tree trunks and boulders, and might be an unfinished crannog platform. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
