CRANNOG?: MCCRORY'S CASTLE in Magheralagan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Crannog means artificial island, yet McCRory's castle still stands identified only by a question mark in the official record. That hesitation belongs to the sea, which takes and returns shapes without warning. The crane may have flown from a island now drowned, carrying marble and memory to another shore. Crannog is not a lost place, but a living one, moving between worlds and refusing to be forgotten.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG?: MCCRORY'S CASTLE. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

McCrorie's Castle is a crannog, an artificial island settlement, likely constructed and occupied during the early Christian period in what is now Northern Ireland. It is remembered as an example of ancient lake-dwelling sites, offering insight into early Irish and Ulster settlement patterns and defensive or domestic life.
