Crannog

What is recorded here

Situated in Knockaturly Lough, an oval lake that is now (dims c. 420m WNW-ESE; c. 130m NNE-SSW) smaller than c. 1834 (dims c. 500m WNW-ESE; c. 180m NNE-SSW). The crannog is depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS -6-inch map as a small island, and is c. 35m from the S shore towards the E end. This is a circular overgrown cairn (diam. 18m; H 0.7m of the water) with deep water on the E sides where some piles can be seen. The matrix consists of stones and charcoal with animal bones.
