Crannog in Lough Gara is a crannog in Lough Gara, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a small circular area 5 metres across between Derrymore island and Derrybeg townland, where firmly set stones 0.1 to 0.2 metres across remain visible. Cross identified it in 1953 as one of eight small crannogs in that bay, a grouping later repeated in the 2002 and 2005 accounts.
