What is recorded here
Crannog islands were ancient lake homes, built of timber and tradition. If this is one, Derrylea held a small world of its own, where people lived beside the water and the sky. The name is uncertain, but the idea is clear: a place set apart, made by human hands, and lost to time.
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.
