Indicated

Crannog

What is recorded here

Indicated is a submerged crannog at the southwest end of Lough Conway, mapping a twenty-by-ten-metre island that water has since swallowed. The lake rises and falls across the hidden structure, revealing only a five-metre feature when clarity or depth aligns. It is not a defeated absence but a living boundary, marked and remembered through the water that keeps returning it.
Indicated as a small island (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 10m E-W) on the 1835 edition of OS 6-inch map at the SW end of Lough Conway (dims c. 400m NE-SW; c. 200m NW-SE). No feature is visible at ground level in an area which is regularly flooded, although a small feature (diam. c. 5m) is sometimes visible above the water. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
