What is recorded here
Crannog is a man-made island in County Derry, built when people wanted dry ground surrounded by water. It still stands as a scheduled archaeological site, marking the moment human hands shaped the landscape into a small home. The name CRANNOG appears in the official record for Ballymacpeake Upper, preserving the identity of that ancient choice.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
