What is recorded here
Crannog is a small island in a lough, built or chosen for life when the land around was wet, crowded or dangerous. The name CRANNOG: THE LOUGH still points to that place in Moylarg, County Antrim. A crannog is not a myth, though it becomes one when the water takes the wood and the rooms disappear. It is a house made visible only by what it refused to drown.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG: THE LOUGH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
