Crannog in Drumreask — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Erosion has bitten through the east edge of the overgrown island, exposing three wooden platforms still gripping the mud on piles. The lake is small enough to cross in minutes yet the island remains unreachable from the shore, forcing whoever built it to commit fully to water and risk. The platforms suggest a place made for living above the surface rather than retreat from it.

Located at the W shore of the subrectangular Drumreaske Lough (dims c. 200-230m N-S; c. 100m E-W at N to c. 220m E-W at S). This is an oval overgrown island (dims 15m E-W; 10m N-S) that is inaccessible from the land but its E edge has been eroded revealing evidence of three wooden platforms held in position by piles. 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: 13 December 2017
