CRANNOG in Kilturk North

CRANNOG

What is recorded here

CRANNOG in Kilturk North, County Fermanagh, is a crannog, an artificial island dwelling or platform built in lake country across Europe and Britain. The official record places it in the early Christian and medieval periods, when wetland life depended on reading water, reed and season. A crannog is not a monument to be admired from a distance. It is a home made visible only because people stood on it, breathed on it and left it behind.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
