Crannog in Cunnion

Crannog

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.
