What is recorded here

A letter was sent to the National Museum of Ireland in 1937 reporting the discovery of 'piling sticks' at bottom of a bog '6ft from surface' (NMI Top. Files). In reply Adolf Maher suggests these may be the remains of a crannog. The location of the find was given as 'in vicinity of Carrickerry' (ibid.). Nothing further is known of this discovery.

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.
