What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in Dumb Lough, County Cavan, Ireland. It is a small island about 55m from the shore and 250m southwest of another possible crannog. The lake has been drained, lowering the water and joining the island to the mainland. From the shore it appears as a low, roughly circular, vegetation-covered mound about 12m across among the rushes. Davies noted one probable pile projecting at the edge during a 1942 survey. The site is marked on all Ordnance Survey editions and described in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan.
