What is recorded here
Crannog is a possible artificial island in Campsey Lower, County Derry, dating from the early Christian period. It may have hosted a small dwelling, workshop or place of worship above wet ground. The name preserves a human choice to build rather than leave the land unchanged.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
