What is recorded here

Situated in a reed-and-scrub-covered area on what is presently the N shore of a channel linking Derrycassan and Coologe Loughs. Dur­ing the cleaning of a drain in 1992, a number of vertical timbers were revealed some of which were pointed, while others had possible mortices. Nearby there were horizontal timbers and deposits of stone and peat. It is believed (OPW 1992) that the remains represent the edge of a circular crannóg (diam. 25m-30m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
