ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in Drumlone

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog islands are ancient lake dwellings, and Drumlone may hold one beneath its water. The official record hedges its claim, leaving the island half-imagined and half-proved. That uncertainty fits the place. A crannog is not a monument to certainty; it is a room built against forgetting, where people lived beside the edge of knowing.
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.
