What is recorded here

Crannog in Lackagh is a small stone island in Lough Pound, County Donegal, built rather than born. It measures about eight and a half by ten and a half metres, wears vegetation like a green roof, and sends two tiny pier-like projections toward the northwest. People may have stood there in damp darkness, watching water move across stones they had carried from elsewhere.

An island in Lough Pound appears to have been artificially constructed of stones. Two small 'Piers' project on the NW side. The island 8.5m N-S, 10.4m E-W is covered in vegetation. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
