Crannog in Drumcaw (trough By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Crannog in Drumcaw is a small, overgrown island about fifteen metres wide, sitting near the north end of the west shore of a rectangular lough in County Monaghan. It is officially called a crannog, though no building remains visible above the water or reeds. The lough is narrow, barely two hundred metres long, and the island is hard to reach, suggesting it was either abandoned or hidden by growth long before anyone walked past.

Located towards the N end of the W shore of the rectangular Drumcaw Lough (dims c. 200m NNE-SSW; c. 180m WNW-ESE). There is a small inaccessible overgrown island (diam. c. 15m) here. (Smyth 1954, 5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 29 August 2017
