What is recorded here

Crannog: Whinney Island is a drowned or hidden lake dwelling in County Down, perhaps dating to early Christian times. It may have been a small island home, a refuge, or a forgotten farm where water and land touched. The name preserves a place that has vanished or changed shape, leaving behind only a point on a map and a shadow in water.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG: WHINNEY ISLAND. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
