What is recorded here

Crannog in Lough Gara is a crannog in Lough Gara, County Sligo, Ireland. It is one of nine crannog sites in a secluded bay on the east shores of Lough Gara, though this exact place was never located. The stones visible there are a natural lakeshore spread, not a built crannog.

On the E shores of Lough Gara, one of a group of six possible crannogs (SL047-018001-; SL047-018002-; SL047-018003-; SL047-018004-; SL047-018006-) and three crannogs (SL047-015----; SL047-017----; SL047-018005-) in a secluded bay. This crannog was not located. The area marked by Cross (1953, fig. 1) is a natural spread of lakeshore stones with some rounded boulders almost level with the surrounding ground and has none of the attributes of a crannog.
