What is recorded here
Crannog in Corrinagh is a submerged oval stone island in Annagh Lough, County Longford, preserving a boundary between human invention and lake memory. It rises one metre above the mud with packed angular stones and possibly hidden timber, waiting for water to withdraw. The lake keeps the shape intact while denying easy entry, turning an ordinary field into a chamber where imagination must follow evidence.
In the S end of Annagh Lough below the water line and outside a reed stand but not covered with vegetation. This oval, low-cairn crannog (17.3m E–W; 14m N–S) rises 1.2m above the muddy lake-bed and consists of a layer of packed angular stones (Wth c. 0.4–0.5m) that seem to be over layers of smaller stones and organic matter. The crannog is distinct in material and has a definite edge. According to local information, timbers can be seen around it at low-water levels.
