What is recorded here

Eighty metres from the Grilly shoreline, a handful of large stones still break the water like the ribs of a drowned chamber. They mark a crannog, a built island or lake dwelling that turned open water into a defensible home. The lough kept that shape long after the people left it behind.

Not marked on any OS ed. Situated in Grilly Lough, c. 80m from the shoreline. A few large stones protruding above the water-level of the lake presumably represent a crannóg cairn. Known locally as a crannóg. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
