What is recorded here
Indicated is a submerged crannog on the southwest shore of Lough Carra, County Mayo. Its triangular stone frame still holds ten metres north to south and six and a half east to west beneath the bay water. Loose rock patches drift across it from northeast to northwest, marking the edge of a home that stopped fearing the lake long before people stopped visiting it.
Submerged in bay, on SW shore of Lough Carra. Revetted, stone structure, triangular in shape (10m N-S; 6.5m E-W), overlain by loose patches of rock NE to NW.
The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 302.
