Crannoge

At the SE end of Lough Meharth, an inter-drumlin lake and intervisible with another crannog (SL034-015----) c. 400m to NW. An almost submerged, oval low-cairn crannog (11m N-S; 14m E-W; H 1m above the lake-bed) with irregular edges. There is a mid-mound (3.2m N-S; 4m E-W) off-centre to E, the firm surface of which consists of grass and some rounded stones (diam. c. 0.3m). The mid-mound is on a plateau that consists of mud and some rounded and subangular stones. The plateau is wider to the W where it stretches out for c. 10m before sloping into the water. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
