CRANNOG?: SWAN ISLAND LITTLE in Swan Island Little

CRANNOG?: SWAN ISLAND LITTLE

What is recorded here

Crannog is an artificial island, often built with brushwood, soil and stone, then farmed or lived upon. Swan Island Little preserves that idea inside County Antrim, where a small raised place may have given people dry ground, privacy and a defensible home. The name keeps the crannog identity alive even when the island itself has faded into marsh, memory or myth.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG?: SWAN ISLAND LITTLE. 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.
