What is recorded here

Crannoge is a grass-covered oval, fourteen by ten metres, hidden in the marshy floor of the Bonet River valley. It has no walls, towers or stones left visible, only a slight rise and a small stream twenty metres east. The place may have been a home, a shrine or a boundary marker before the water and grass took it back. What is certain is that the land still holds the shape of the choice made there.

Marked only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a crannog site. It is situated in a marshy area on the floor of the Bonet River valley, with a small S-N stream c. 20m to the E. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims 14m E-W; 10m N-S; H 0.1-0.2m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
