What is recorded here

Crannogs were ancient lake houses, but no clear building remains visible in Ballyward Lake today. The water may still hide wooden stakes, sunk walls or a small artificial island made by people long before modern maps. If so, the lake did not merely exist; it was shaped, lived in and forgotten.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POSSIBLE CRANNOG in Ballyward Lake. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
