What is recorded here

Sherlock (1897-8, 157) mentions that a grant of land made by James I to Walter Dongan included an area in Sherlockstown which was known as 'Monecronock'- 'the bog of the crannog', and suggests that a crannog may have existed in this wet, low-lying area . The exact location of this monument is unknown. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
