What is recorded here

Loughernegilly stands in Kilknock, County Antrim, a crannog marked in official records for the Christian era. The name suggests a hidden lake or marshy basin where timber piles may have held a small dwelling above the water. People likely built there to escape floods, claim fertile ground, or simply enjoy the solitude of open sky. The site still belongs to the land, waiting for someone to imagine the life that once balanced on its stakes.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CRANNOG: LOUGHERNEGILLY. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
