What is recorded here
Crannog in Knockroe (kiltoraght Ed) is a vanished crannog in County Clare, Ireland. Ó Riordáin (1966-7, 71) placed it c. 70m east of another crannog (CL016-084001-), describing a 24.5m mound, 2m high, buried under briars. It resisted every later search, including May 1999 and every aerial image, as if the marsh took back what it had only recently lent.
In marshy pastureland. According to Ó Riordáin (1966-7, 71), this possible crannog was located c. 70m to the E of another crannog (CL016-084001-). It consisted of a raised mound (diam. 24.5m; H c. 2m) that was overgrown with briars and other vegetation. On inspection in May 1999 it was not located and no visible surface trace of it is visible on any available aerial imagery.
