What is recorded here

CRANNOG is a crannog in Tawnyreagh, County Fermanagh, recorded for the medieval and later periods. It stands as a made island, likely built from earth and rubble thrown into shallow water until a dry place emerged. 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.

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