Crannog in Killygar

Located close to the shore at the N end of Kilnamar Lough, a subrectangular lake (dims c. 650m NE-SW: c. 18m NW-SE at NE to c. 350m NW-SE at SW). This is a submerged mound (diam. c. 20m) with no visible evidence that it is artificially constructed. However, a saddle quern, which is now kept at a Killegar House, was found on it. The crannog does not appear on any aerial images and its precise location is not known. 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.
