ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in Drumad

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog islands are ancient lake dwellings, and this is one in County Fermanagh. The name is uncertain, but the kind is clear: a small island built or shaped for human life, possibly with a wooden structure or boundary marker still hidden beneath the water. The official record calls it an island, possibly a crannog, and that hesitation is honest. What is certain is that the place exists, that it is in a lake, and that someone once chose to live where the land disappears under water.
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.
