What is recorded here
Crannog is a man-made island, often built with brushwood, soil and stone, where people lived above wet ground. In Lough Island Reavy, water would have touched the settlement instead of a road, and rain would have made the whole place ring like a bowl. The lough kept the household close to birds, fish and risk.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG? in Lough Island Reavy. 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.
