What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost crannog near the centre of Lough Bannow, marked on a 1914 map as a small oval island but never found despite a thorough search. When the lake was last visited it had become a swamp thick with man-sized reeds and sally trees, hiding whatever remained beneath its surface. It may still exist, drowned in reeds and memory, waiting for the water to withdraw and give back its shape.

Close to the centre of Lough Bannow. Marked on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped island (30m NNW–SSE; 25m ENE–WSW). When visited the lake was a swamp full of man-sized reeds and sally trees. Despite a thorough search it was not located. Another possible crannog (LF017-006----) lies c. 75m to the SSE.
