What is recorded here
Crannog is a small island in Lough Acrussel, County Fermanagh, where people built homes above water instead of on land. The official record gives no exact year, yet the name and form point to a dwelling place rather than a marker or ruin. Imagine ropes pulling boats against reeds, firelight moving through cabin gaps, and children learning the lake by heart before roads existed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG in Lough Acrussel. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
