What is recorded here
Crannog islands are ancient human-made islands, built from earth and stone in shallow lake water. People lived on them, kept animals on them, and disappeared from them while the lake kept their shape. Crannog means a made island, not a abandoned island. The distinction matters because creation is visible in the shape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
