CRANNOG in Largy

CRANNOG

What is recorded here

Crannog is a man-made island in County Fermanagh, built where drowning land would have been wasted. Its stones and timber resisted the water, giving people a dry place to live while the lake closed around them. The name still points to that choice: to take a crannog is to take back a room the water would have kept.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
