What is recorded here

Crannog in Mountain sits mid-lake in Caheer Lough, County Mayo, its wooden stakes still marking a drowned room where deer antlers scatter like broken bones. A single bush pushes through the top, holding the last breath of the place above water.

Located in the centre of Caheer Lough, c. 120m NE of another crannog (MA093-027001-). When inspected in 1988, the crannog was largely submerged. The perimeter was defined by a double line of wooden stakes. Timbers, part of the crannog structure but largely obscured by mud and silt, were also visible on the lake bed. A large quantity of deer antlers lay scattered on the ground and in the surrounding lake bed. A bush was growing on the highest point. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 June 2022
