What is recorded here
Crannog in Moynagh is a grass-covered oval mound, 30m long and 2m high, set between drumlins in County Meath. Charcoal and ash still show where the surface has been poached, hinting at fires lit and tended on that small island long ago. John Bradley first identified the site, and the mound remains a quiet marker of life lived above the water table.
