What is recorded here

Sally Island is a submerged crannog in Ballaghdacker Lough, County Galway. It is a circular earthen platform twenty-eight metres across and one and three-quarter metres high. A curving causeway still links the island to the northern shore. The platform is overgrown but the shape remains clear beneath the water. The causeway suggests the island was reached on purpose, not discovered by chance. A second possible crannog lies about one hundred metres to the south. The lough may have held more than one wet-home when people still built roads into water.
