What is recorded here

Crannog in Lough Gowna is a stony oval island 70m west of the shore, rising 2.2m above the lake-bed and overgrown with trees. Its level surface of stones and thin vegetation suggests people shaped it into a small, stable place for living or working. Another crannog lies 200m to the north-east, hinting that this bay once held more than one human claim.
