ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in Rushin

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog islands are ancient lake dwellings, and Rushin holds one possibly hidden beneath water or reeds. The official record calls it an island, possibly a crannog, in County Fermanagh. That much is certain. The rest belongs to the lake: timber rot, silt hunger, and the quiet patience of water taking back what people built.
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.
