What is recorded here

Crannog in Gortaggle is a submerged timber circle beside Mucklaghan Lough in County Leitrim, Ireland. The lough stretches 550m north-south and 400m east-west, while the crannog occupies a narrow reed-edged margin where wooden remains still show beneath the surface. A modern boat lies nearby with its keel stripped and chained, as if the lough had swallowed both old and new in the same breath.

Located in reeds c. 40m from the E shore of subcircular Mucklaghan Lough (dims c. 550m N-S; c. 400m E-W) and normally below water. This is a small area (diam. c. 10-15m) where timbers can be seen below the water. The prow and stern of a small modern boat (L 4.3m) with an iron chain and metal strips on the keel was also visible.
