Crannog in Springpark, County Offaly

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Located on flat poorly drained land. Raised circular platform(18m N/S; 19m E/W; ext.H. 0.50m) defined by a scarp with no evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. Lack of piled timbers would argue against crannog classification.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record OF007-016
