What is recorded here
Cunnion hides a drowned crannog beneath its bog, where workmen once pulled morticed oak piles from the black water. Those joints suggest a built island rather than scattered timber, perhaps a home or shrine abandoned before the landscape changed. The site remains unlocated, denying modern visitors the chance to stand where that wooden structure rose from the wet earth.
There is a report of workmen uncovering oak piles, which were morticed, in a bog at Cunnion (Faughnan 1943) on land owned by a Mr. McMorrow. It remains unlocated.
