What is recorded here

Crannog in Kildermot is a tree-covered stone cairn on the shallow northwest edge of Ballymore Lough, shaped like a small island rather than a natural pile. It stands near two similar crannogs, suggesting a lost cluster of water homes or markers in the lough. The stones may have supported timber long gone, giving people a dry place to live, hide or remember while the lake shifted around them.

Located in the NW of Ballymore Lough, close to the shoreline. This consist of a roughly oval stone cairn (13m NE−SW; 17m NW−SE) on a sand bank. The N side slopes steeply into the water, but the gradient is gentler elsewhere. It is largely tree-covered. When inspected in 1988 no corroborating evidence, such as timbers or bones, was noted, but the artificial appearance of the site, and its similarity to two crannogs (MA040-108----; MA040-075----), located respectively c. 100m and c. 170mm to E, suggested that this is a crannog.
