ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in LOUGH ROSS in Cornahove

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in LOUGH ROSS

What is recorded here

Crannog islands are ancient lake dwellings, and Lough Ross in County Armagh may hold one beneath its water. The official record calls it an island, possibly a crannog, from the early Christian period. That uncertainty is not a flaw; it is the shape of the place. A circle of stones or a drowned hut may still turn under the lough, waiting for someone to stop calling it unknown.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in LOUGH ROSS. 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.
