ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in Mallybreen

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog islands were ancient lake houses in County Fermanagh, built on timber and courage. Mallybreen may have hidden one, its wooden walls drowned now beneath reeds and rain. A crannog is a room the lake forgot, still warm beneath the 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.
