What is recorded here
Crannog is a man-made island, often built with timber, stone and soil, where people lived above water. In Maghadone, County Derry, the name points to one of those hidden places rather than an ordinary field or road. The water would have kept intruders at bay and given the household a view across the land.
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.
