What is recorded here
Crannog is a water place, not a dormant field. The name itself carries the shape: a living island, made or taken, where people stood beside water instead of staring at it from a distance. Crannog is an active word.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. 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.
