What is recorded here
Crannog in Lough Gara is a crannog in Lough Gara, County Sligo, Ireland. It stands at the east end of an inlet on the east shore of Lough Gara. Tall reeds cover the area, hiding the possible crannog located to the south west. The exact boundary of the first crannog remains unclear because the second site cannot be seen.
At the E end of an inlet, on the E shore of Lough Gara. Marked by Cross (1953, fig. 1) to NE of another possible crannog (SL047-041003-). The area is overgrown with tall reeds and the possible crannog was not located. (Fredengren 2002, KILA 037)
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).
