What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in Cranberry Island, County Roscommon, Ireland. The site appears as a small island near the north-west shore of Cranberry Lough on the 1837 and 1925 Ordnance Survey maps, but siltation has since joined it to the land. The resulting peninsula tip is lower than the surrounding area, holds coniferous trees, and remains overgrown with sallies despite lacking visible artificial construction.

Marked as a small island (diam. c. 15m) close to the NW shore of the triangular S part (dims c. 250m NE-SW; c. 200m N-S) of Cranberry Lough on the 1837 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is now attached to the NW shore. The tip of the peninsula (diam. c. 20m) is lower than the rest and planted with some coniferous trees. It is overgrown with sallies while the lake to the S is becoming silted. There is no evidence of artificial construction, but it may well have a stone core and be a crannog.
