Crannog in Garadice Lough

Crannog

What is recorded here

Thirty metres from the northern shore of Garadice Lough, a submerged circle of large stones and unworked tree trunks waits beneath the water. The platform may have remained unfinished, leaving a ghostly room where no one ever lived.
Situated c. 30m from a point on the N shore of a bay (dims c. 900m N-S; c. 200-500m E-W) which is on the N shore of Garadice Lough, and c. 300m NE of Drumreilly Church (LE027-058001-). There is a submerged area (diam. c. 20m) of large stones and unworked tree trunks (max. L. 5m; diam. c. 0.8m) which may 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
