People may have stood there in rain while elsewhere drowned, looking out across the bog like small gods.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
