What is recorded here

Crannog in Lough Gara is a crannog in Lough Gara, County Sligo, Ireland. On the south shore where the lake flows into the River Boyle, moss-covered stones form a rough circle four point six by six point six metres wide and fifty-five centimetres high. The stones follow a spiral pattern above the meadow. A similar stone feature lies immediately southeast, marking a possible boat slip from the same time.

On the shoreline, on the S shore of the outflow of Lough Gara into the River Boyle. A roughly circular compilation of moss-covered stones (4.6m N-S; 6.6m E-W; H 0.55m above the meadow) arranged roughly in a spiral. Immediately to SE is a possible boat slip, consisting of similar building material and which may be contemporary with the possible crannog. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
