What is recorded here

Located towards the N end of Curraun Lough, a small oval lake (max. dims c. 250m NW-SE; c. 100m NE-SW) that is represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map as being larger (max. dims c. 325m NW-SE; c. 150m NE-SW). The lake is on a N-S canalised stream, and the crannog is now joined to the shore at N. This is an overgrown, circular, flat-topped island (diam. 25m E-W; H 0.35m) with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction. Crannog (LE033-002----) is c. 30m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended; 6 December 2019
