CRANNOG in Magonragh; Shanco

CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog in Magonragh stands as a scheduled ancient island in County Fermanagh, preserving a life lived above water rather than beside it. The name itself admits the shape: a crannog, a made or chosen island where people placed homes, hearths and risk beyond the reach of ordinary flood. What is recorded is small, but the image is not small. A man could stand there in rain and watch the land disappear around him, leaving only a circle of stone, soil and memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
