What is recorded here
Crannog islands were ancient lakeside homes, and this is one in Fermanagh. Build a circle of stones, drop timber into the water, and the lake returns dry ground for a kitchen, a cradle, a fire. That is all a crannog needs: human hands making a small world out of open 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.
