What is recorded here

Crannog in Pattersons Lake, County Down: a made island in shallow water, old enough to belong before written history. People may have stood there in rain, tying rope or setting a pot to boil while the lake gave back every shadow it swallowed. The water keeps what it is told to keep.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG in PATTERSONS LAKE. 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.
