What is recorded here

Indicated is a small irregular crannog floating seventy-five metres from the Cavan shoreline, forcing every visitor to leave solid ground behind. Its thirty-metre frame hangs in Annagh Lough water like a forgotten room dropped into the lake. People may have built it to escape danger or simply to watch the mist move, but the lake keeps that purpose hidden beneath its surface.

Small irregular-shaped island (max. dim. c. 30m) in Annagh Lough, c. 75m from the shoreline. Marked on all OS eds. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
