What is recorded here

Crannog in Moyle (tullyfern Ed) is a subcircular stone island about 150m off the E shore at the N end of Lough Fern, 18m N-S by 21m E-W. People piled stones on the lake bed and built a loose inner wall, leaving a 2m NE gap that may be modern. The water would have closed around the rock work, making a small place where human hands changed the lake into a room.

About 150m off the E shore at the N end of Lough Fern is a subcircular island 18m N-S by 21m E-W. It is formed from a cairn of stones piled on the lake bed. There is a band of loose stones around the edge of the island which had been built up to form a wall face on the inner side. A 2m gap through this to the NE may be modern.
