What is recorded here

In the SE end of Currygrane Lough. This oval, high-cairn crannog (13.5m N–S; 11m E–W) rises 1.8m above the muddy lake-bed. Only one area, a mound (H 1.5m) in the S half of the island, is above water. It may be due to the build-up of a swan’s nest at this location. The island seems to have no other major topographical differences discernible above the water line. The edges of the crannog are distinct in material and consist of small stones against a soft lake-bed. Another crannog (LF009-035----) lies c. 175m to the SW.
