What is recorded here

Crannog is a water island, often built with timber and soil, where people lived above the lake or bog. The name appears in Loughorne, County Down, though the point and details are thin. It may have been a home, a refuge or a marker, placed where water and land touched. The absence of detail does not remove the crannog; it withholds the shape of the life that used it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG?. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
