Indicated

Crannog

What is recorded here

Indicated is an overgrown oval crannog sitting sixty metres from the NE shore of Annaghearly Lough in County Leitrim. Its eastern edge still holds an eleven-metre collapsed timber revetment, while large boulders and drainage spoil now clutter much of its surface. The lough is broad enough to swallow a village, yet this small island remains distinct, marked by wood, stone and distance from the bank.
Located c. 60m from the NE shore of the subrectangular Annaghearly Lough (dims c. 570m NE-SW; c. 330-400m NW-SE). This is an overgrown oval island (dims 38m NW-SE; 29m NE-SW; H 1.5-2m) surrounded at E by a collapsed timber revetment (L 11m) at the water's edge. Much of the surface could be drainage spoil consisting of large boulders. See the attached view taken from the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
