What is recorded here

Crannagh held a circular fort thirty metres across, visible on maps until farming erased its edges. A landowner later admitted filling an L-shaped underground passage, perhaps killing the very chamber that made the fort worthy of notice. The ridge to the south still shadows the buried shape, waiting for someone reckless enough to dig beneath the tillage.

In tillage. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. On the 1922 edition is it more irregular in plan and a field boundary is incorporated into it from NE to S. (c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W). On inspection in September 1982 no visible surface trace survived and a number of the field boundaries in the area had also been cleared. However, when viewed from a ridge to the S a circular cropmark was marked the outline of the site. According the landowner, there was a ‘mound’ here and an ‘L-shaped Man-made underground passage’ (GA122-064001-), which he filled in.
