ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG in Cleffany

ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog is the word that fits an island built rather than born. In Cleffany, Fermanagh, the lake may have given up flat water and people gave back a floor of timber, stone and dirt. The official record hedges because the water hides the edges, but the name preserves the act of making land where none stood.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ISLAND, possibly CRANNOG. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
