What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost crannog buried beneath the marsh that replaced Attaduff Lough. A survey drawn in 1834 still showed its small oval shape floating in open water, but the lake has since choked with reeds and forgotten the boundary between land and sky. Whatever life moved across that water has vanished without a trace, leaving only a hidden shape beneath the rot.

Located in an overgrown marsh that was once Attaduff Lough, a subrectangular lake (original dims c. 350m N-S; c. 340m E-W). A small oval feature (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) is depicted in the lake on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is inaccessible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 8 December 2017
