What is recorded here

Indicated is a submerged crannog in Mill Lough, County Cavan, Ireland. It is no longer visible because the lough fell dry during heatwaves and then refilled. The vanished island belongs to the regional lake-country tradition of water-based life. It records how climate, memory and measurement can all exclude what they believe they understand.

Small subcircular island (diam. c.22m) in Mill Lough, c. 70m from the shoreline. Very overgrown with vegetation. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
