What is recorded here
MOUND is a possible crannog in County Down, Ireland, where a simple heap of earth may have hidden a living house above water. The provided facts describe American mound builders instead of this Irish site, so the local purpose remains unclear. Perhaps people threw soil around a central post, raised a floor against the rain, and watched the lake through gaps in the wall.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - poss. 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.
