Crannog

What is recorded here

Located c. 60m SW of the southern point of Turf Island in the sub-oval northern part (max. dims c. 1.4km E-W; c. 900m N-S) of St. John's Lough. It is depicted as a small island (diam. c. 15m) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map and is only visible at very low water levels. This is a grass-covered earth and stone island (max. dims 33m N-S; 14m E-W) surrounded by reeds but there is no evidence of artificial construction. The crannog (LE024-012----) is c. 40m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
