Crannog in Cornacreeve (trough By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Crannog in Cornacreeve is a grassy mound at the northwest corner of Tully Lough in County Monaghan. Ash and charcoal still mark the place where someone built, lived and burned. The lake has since widened on old maps, but the mound remains, a small defiant circle in the bog.

Situated in boggy ground on the shore at the NW angle of the triangular Tully Lough (dims c. 300m NNE-SSW; c. 140m WNW-ESE), although the lake is represented as larger (dims c. 375m NNE-SSW; c. 200m WNW-ESE) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is visible as a slightly raised circular and grass-covered mound of earth (diam. 20m E-W; 18m N-S) with ash and charcoal in evidence. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 29 August 2017
