What is recorded here

This is one of six possible crannogs (see also GA105-198001, GA105-198002-, GA105-198003-, GA199---- and GA105-224----) located in the NE end of Lough Rea; this one is c. 80m from the shoreline to the N. It is shown on the 1838 edition and 1929 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a very small island (c. 9m NE-SW; c. 6m NW-SE). On inspection in June 1992 most of the it was under water but it appeared to be artificially built on a pile of stones. A few trees were growing on it.
