Indicated

Crannog

What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in Kilglass Lough, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits at the centre of the northern triangular part of the lough, roughly 400 metres from every shore. A stony, scrub-covered circular mound barely rises above the water, though surrounding reeds suggest a larger base about 50 metres across. No artificial construction is visible, but a net-sinker has been recovered from the site.
