What is recorded here

Inchnaveague Isl. is a crannog in Garrynphort (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits in the bed of turlough Lough Croan, where seasonal flooding exposes a circular grass mound about twenty-six metres across. Fragments of a wooden palisade still push through the turf at its edges, marking the place as a constructed island from the early medieval period.
